Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.
Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference
On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.
Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
I can't wait to figure out what is wrong with me, so I can say this is the way that I used to be.
Sow a thought and you get an act; Sow an act and you get a habit; Sow a habit and you get a character; Sow a character and you get a destiny.
As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.
First, then, God, being all-just, wishes to do justice; being all-wise, knows what justice is; being all-powerful, can do justice. Why then injustice?
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.
Exceptional claims demand exceptional evidence.
All that happens means something; nothing you do is ever insignificant.
I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.
It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.
I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.
This terrifying world is not devoid of charms, of the mornings that make waking up worthwhile.
The happiest is the person who suffers the least pain; the most miserable who enjoys the least pleasure.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
