If we are not free, no one will respect us.

One man with a gun can control 100 without one.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.

Nature is not human-hearted.

Life did not intend to make us perfect. Whoever is perfect belongs in a museum.

Time ripens all things; no one is born wise.

Live simply so others may simply live.

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

You can have it all. Just not all at once.

We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure.

Don't be concerned others not appreciating you. Be concerned about your not appreciating others.

Anything I've done up till 27 May 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.

To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There's much too little forgetting.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain;Live for others, and you will live again.

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

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

Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.

Its not the men in your life that matters, its the life in your men.
