Well, the truth is, if you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time–then you might not be as ambitious as you are.

If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all.

Do the kind of things that come from the heart, When you do, you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overhelmed with what comes back

If we can remember the feeling of love we once had, we can die without ever going away.

Grieve and mourn for yourself not once or twice, but again and again.

The truth is, part of me is every age. I delight in being a child when it’s appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it’s appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am every age, up to my own.

Everything that gets born dies.
