“I read a book one day and my whole life was changed.”

Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.

Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel, for example.

No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

In this world we walk on the roof of hell, gazing at flowers.

Marriage is like a besieged fortress: those who are outside want to get in, and those who are inside want to get out.

I prefer a short life with width to a narrow one with length.

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.
