Each life makes its own immitation of immortality.

You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.

Life is not an exact science, it is an art.

Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.

Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

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

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.

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.

Life is more or less a lie, but then again, that's exactly the way we want it to be.

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Courage is a kind of salvation.

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.

To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.

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

You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.

Mastery of the emotions is fundamental to a virtuous life.

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Is it not enough that 'things are cruel and blind'? Must we also be cruel and blind?

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
