Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. To live a fulfilled life, we need to keep creating the "what is next", of our lives. Without dreams and goals there is no living, only merely existing, and that is not why we are here.

The public is the only critic whose judgment is worth anything at all.

It is a worthy thing to fight for one's freedom; it is another sight finer to fight for another man's.

You can't throw too much style into a miracle.

Life is short. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly and love truly.
