As long as the Earth can make a spring every year, I can.

When people become elders - when they're older; they can be old without being an elder, really. They [can] just be old and not very useful.

Anything that forces you to act at the possible harm of your own existence is going to exact a cost. You have to then think about, "Can I pay this? What will this mean to me - to my relationships, to my family, to everybody? What is this going to take? How much of me is this going to take?"

Some people don't understand that it is the nature of the eye to have seen forever, and the nature of the mind to recall anything that was ever known.

My heart hurt so much I can't believe it. How can it keep beating, feeling like this?

Critics don't really affect the fact that we live in this paradise and what the meaning of that [is]. And what luck to have this!

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.
