This morning I woke with my ear pressed between shoulder blades. Every inhale, every drum, every pump, thump of your heartbeat said one thing – home, home, home.

Above all else, I would choose you. When there’s no more grand gestures, no more words to say, when everything around us begins to give way, when the sky grows dim and the colors fade, I will choose you.

You deserve to give yourself the same love that you give to everyone else.

The universe, at any given point, in any given time, is expanding indefinitely in all directions. So trust me when I say, ‘you are the center of mine.’

You be the clouds above, I’ll be the grass below, and everything in between will be where our love will grow.

And of all the things I look forward to in life, falling in love with you is at the top of the list.

If you can find a way to be truly ambivalent about what people think about you as an artist you’re completely freed up because you just end up doing things that turn you on creatively, and then as a person you really try and drown the noise.

Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.

We’re so afraid of each other… Colour, wealth, these things that don’t really matter still play too much of a role in how we see one another. And it’s sad, because the thing that least defines us is the colour of our skin.

Experience is the harvest of life, and every harvest is the result of a sowing. The experience which young people must crave is that of success in some service for which they are naturally fitted.

To be good is not enough; a man must be good for something.

If gold rust what shall the iron do?

I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.

Credulity is the man’s weakness but the child’s strength.

Individualism is what makes cooperation worth living.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Water from the white fountain didn’t taste any better than from the black fountain.

Do you realize that you can’t play the game of life with sweaty palms?

Freedom of speech does not protect you from the consequences of saying stupid shit

The only prosperity the people can afford to be satisfied with is the kind that lasts.

Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn’t mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.
