If, in our world, there is any chance of becoming the person you haven't yet become...will I know how to seize that chance, turn my life into a garden that will be completely different from my forebears'?

Entrusting one's life is not the same as opening up one's soul.

Talent consists not in inventing shapes but in causing those that were invisible to emerge.

..if you dread tomorrow, it's because you don't know how to build the present, you tell yourself you can deal with it tomorrow, and it's a lost cause anyway because tomorrow always ends up becoming today, don't you see?

Personally I think that grammar is a way to attain beauty.

Moments like this act as magical interludes, placing our hearts at the edge of our souls: fleetingly, yet intensely, a fragment of eternity has come to enrich time...When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things.

With the exception of love, friendship and the beauty of Art, I don't see much else that can nurture human life.
