All younger people should know something. If you’re always battling against getting older, you’re always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow.

One hundred and ten years from now no one who is here now will be alive.

Keep your heart open for as long as you can, as wide as you can, for others and especially for yourself.

If the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.

Do I wither up and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left?

The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family.

Now that I'm suffering, I feel closer to people who suffer more than I ever did before. The other night, on TV, I saw people in Bosnia running across the street, getting fired upon, killed, innocent victims....and I just started to cry. I feel their anguish as if it were my own. I don't know any of these people. But - how can I put this? I'm almost......drawn to them.
