I want to feel my life while I'm in it.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

Life is made up of marble and mud.

There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.

Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.

Without a measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be...

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

The image is one thing and the human being is another...It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn

Old age, especially an honoured old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Old age is by nature rather talkative.

There is also this benefit in brag: that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means, draw it all out, and hold him to it.

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

Most people treat the present moment as if it were an obstacle that they need to overcome. Since the present moment is life itself, it is an insane way to live.

One man with a gun can control 100 without one.

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
