As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

Last year I sang for the Queen of England, met the president of the United States, and got an Emmy and a star on The Walk of Fame. And what did I do? I was just being myself.

Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.

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.

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

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.

We all owe death a life.

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.

A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.

My life didn't please me, so I created my 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.

Without a measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.

I can't help thinking that there are only one or two ways of being brought into this world, but there are so many fucked-up ways of leaving it.

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday.

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

Live your life and forget your age.
