Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

Life is the dancer and you are the dance.

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.

In order to seek truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life to doubt, as far as possible, of all things.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

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

I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just...in between.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Symbols are the imaginative signposts of life.

The natural world is the greatest source of excitement. The greatest source of visual beauty. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.

Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.
