Life has two rules: 1. Never quite 2. Always remember 1.

I don’t know how to drive.

I have survivor’s curiosity, I guess.

A h** neva gets cold

It is the mind that makes good or ill. That which makes us happy or sad; rich or poor.

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

We learn something every day, and lots of times it’s that what we learned the day before was wrong.

Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is what happened on the banks.

The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one’s destiny to do, and then do it.

Scream in silence. Dance in stillness.

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!

You have to understand that people that are hurting are going to criticize.

When you embark for strange places don’t leave any of yourself safely at the shore… Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory.
