I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.

Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves.

Where there is love there is life.

In order to seek truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life to doubt, as far as possible, of all things.

In the end, everything is a gag.

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

Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

Sometimes - history needs a push.

The earth is like a spaceship that didn't come with an operating manual.

The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

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

But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.

Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw some and paint some and sing and dance and play and work everyday some.
