Anxiety and depression are the price you pay for a well-lived life.

Creativity can never be explained by appeal to reason alone. Like the birth of a child, creativity compels us not to explanation but to wonder and awe.

The only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.

Life ain't easy. Terrible things happen to everyone. You have to keep your sense of humor, give something of yourself to others, make friends who are younger than you, learn new things, and have fun.

We can laugh from either joy or happiness, but we weep only from grief or joy...Without the pain of farewell, there is no joy in reunion...without the pain of captivity, we don't experience the joy of freedom.

Anxiety and depression are the price you pay for a well-lived life.

Whether we live to a vigorous old age lies not so much in our stars or in our genes but in ourselves.
