There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live.

Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.

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

Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

History is the devil's scripture.

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

I am convinced we do not only love ourselves in others but hate ourselves in others too.

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

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

Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth.

Quick sensitivity is inseperable from a ready understanding.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

Life is made up of marble and mud.

I don't need you to remind me of my age. I have a bladder to do that for me.
