I tell stories to music and, thank God, in tune.

Sometimes I would almost rather have people take years of my life than take away a moment.

The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.

Do not worry about whether or not the sun will rise. Be prepared to enjoy it.

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.

You must change in order to survive.

Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence.
