The most wonderful opportunity which life offers is to be human.

The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself.

The practice of any art demands more than 'mere savoir faire'. One must not only be in love with what one does, one must also know how to make love. In love self is obliterated. Only the beloved counts.

I found that what I had desired all my life was not to live - if what others are doing is called living - but to express myself.

I see myself forever and ever as the ridiculous man, the lonely soul, the wanderer, the restless frustrated artist, the man in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable

As long as that spark of passion is missing there is no human significance in the performance.
