I'd rather live with a tender heart, because that is the key to feeling the beat of all of the other hearts.

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I'm with you kid. Let's go."

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us.

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person that you always should have been.

Take a canvas. Put a mark on it. Put another mark on it.

Time is everything; time is quality.

To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.

Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves.

What counts is not the things that happen, but what we do with them.
