You should paint those visions of paradise rather than just talking about them.

Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.

I’ve learned that waiting is the most difficult bit, and I want to get used to the feeling, knowing that you’re with me, even when you’re not by my side.

If we seek something, that same thing is seeking us.

For many years I was trying to find answers only through books but then I realized that basically, life is about experience and the thing that you have to do is experience life instead of only reading about it. Reading is very important, but it's not enough. After reading, you have to take some decisions in your hands and move forward and be the human being that you are, and then going and meeting people and work.

Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them.

Our selfishness will condemn us to the worst suffering that we ourselves have invented - loneliness.
