Life is laughter when seen in a long shot, but it is a tragedy when seen in a close-up.

Where words leave off, gesture begins. Don't we speak of a person being speechless with rage, dancing with impatience, setting his teeth? The final motions of the soul are speechless, animal, grotesque, or of an incomparable beauty.

What can stars do? Nothing..But sit on their axis!

Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.

Words are cheap. The biggest thing you can say is "elephant".

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful.
