If you have zest and enthusiasm, you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.

I'm not sure I'm adult yet.

Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.

It is not the length of life, but the depth.

You can give in to the failure messages and be a bitter deadbeat of excuses. Or you can choose to be happy and positive and excited about life.

Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.

The less you know, the more you believe.

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.

This terrifying world is not devoid of charms, of the mornings that make waking up worthwhile.

Anybody can dig a hole and plant a tree. But make sure it survives. You have to nurture it, you have to water it, you have to keep at it until it becomes rooted so it can take care or itself. There are so many enemies of trees.

I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

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

I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a chance to read a lot.

Time is the best killer.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

We fear our highest possibility (as well as our lowest one). We are generally afraid to become that which we can glimpse in our most perfect moments.

When one has not had a good father, one must create one.

It takes a long time to grow young.
