Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it takes is courage, imagination ... and a little dough

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.

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

The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.

If you have been sunned through and through like an apricot on a wall from your earliest days, you are oversensitive to any withdrawal of heat.

I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just...in between.

Insanity in individuals is rare - but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs, it is the rule.

Maybe this world is another planet?s hell.

It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds.

The way to know life is to love many things.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

Exceptional claims demand exceptional evidence.

People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule.
