We never know the reality of things: we see only what we are aware of. It is our consciousness that determines the shape of the world around us -- its size, motion and meaning.

To me, 'beauty' means to be natural, creative, honest - to say the truth.

When you are intelligent and beautiful you face a lot of problems. If you are beautiful and stupid then it's easy.

To have arrived at the truth means that one no longer fears death. For death and truth are similar in that they both require a great courage if one wishes to face them.

To be creative means to connect. It's to abolish the gap between the body, the mind and the soul, between science and art, between fiction and nonfiction.
