Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.

Unsatisfied desire is in itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.

Life's a journey, not a destination.

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

As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

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.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?

Landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.

The reality of the building does not consist in the roof and walls, but in the space within to be lived in.

For life in general, there is but one decree: youth is a blunder, manhood a struggle, old age a regret.

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

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

A mother takes twenty years to make a man of her boy, and another woman makes a fool of him in twenty minutes.

Old age, especially an honoured old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.

What do you want meaning for? Life is desire, not meaning.

Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life.

Nature is not human-hearted.

My art and profession is to live.

He who is in love with himself has at least this advantage - he won't encounter many rivals.
