The life you had is nothing. It is the life you have that is important.

Some gods may cross your path, but why should gods be beautiful? They could also be frightening.

To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be. ­

To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.

To give the best of yourself, to be ready to please is OK for a while. But people expect certain things from you, and you have to go beyond that and say, no.

You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.

Many people associate stage fright with a fear of looking ridiculous, making a bad impression. For me, it's like a kind of fever.
