For me, a lovely day is any day I wake up.

It is the experience of living that is important, not searching for meaning. We bring meaning by how we love the world.

I've learned to ask people, "You're doing very well so what are you doing? Let me tell other people." So what's made me who I am, my experience.

What a shame to be so afraid of failure that you stop living. My wife has a great one-liner about failure: "Never consider yourself a failure-you can always serve as a bad example." She is right. Failure can be a better teacher than success.

Every day is my best day...I'm not going to have this moment again.

If you love people, you'll enjoy your life. If you don't, you won't love anything you do.

There's very little that shocks me because I consider life a miracle so I guess what shocks me is that life exists. How the hell did we get here? What shocks me is that bacteria alter their genes and resist antibiotics and viruses resist vaccines.
