The world had taken a deep breath and was having doubts about continuing to revolve.

Try to live your life in a way that you will not regret years of useless virtue and inertia and timidity.

Not everything you do is going to be a masterpiece, but you get art there and you try and sometimes it really happens. The other times you’re just stretching your soul.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

Love is a condition so powerful; it may be that which pulls the stars in the firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins. Courage: you have to have courage to love somebody because you risk everything-ever ything.

When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness... all the good things.

I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy. If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.
