Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, and I'm going to be happy in it.

Life is made up of marble and mud.

The highest manifestation of strength is to keep ourselves calm and on our own feet.

Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.

Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

Anything I've done up till 27 May 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.

Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

In their innocence, very young children know themselves to be light and love. If we will allow them, they can teach us to see ourselves the same way.

If man limits himself to a satisfied animal existence, and asks from life only what such an existence can give, the higher values of life at once disappear.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

The 'good old times'-all times, when old, are good.

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see.

Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.

The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.
