I think all great innovations are built on rejections.

I've been so lonely for long periods of my life that if a rat walked in I would have welcomed it.

In the end, as you get older and older, your life is your life, and you are alone with it.

Character is the architect of the being.

I don’t demand that all work be a masterpiece. What I am doing is the right thing for me - that is what I am and this is living. It reflects me and I reflect it.

And I saw darkness for weeks. It never dawned on me that I could come out of it, but you heal. Nature heals you, and you do come out of it. All of a sudden I saw a crack of light ... then all of a sudden I saw another crack of light. Then I saw forms in the light. And I recognized that there was no darkness, that in darkness there'll always be light.

True strength is delicate.
