life

"Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be."

"The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is."

"Letting him goThere is a particular kind of suffering to be experienced when you love something greater than yourself. A tender sacrifice. Like the pained silence felt in the lost song of a mermaid; or the bent and broken feet of a dancing ballerina. It is in every considered step I am taking in the opposite direction of you."

"If you want to find happiness, find gratitude."

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain."

"One of my main regrets in life is giving considerable thought to inconsiderate people."

"Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you."

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."

"Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them."

"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened."

"Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life."

"What you get is a living, what you give is a life."

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby."

"We’d met at a carefree time, a moment full of promise, in its place now were the harsh lessons of the real world."

"Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions!"

"Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection."

"Life is the art of drawing without an eraser."

"Parla come magni,' It means, 'Speak the way you eat,' or in my personal translation: 'Say it like you eat it.' It's a reminder - when you're making a big deal out of explaining something, when you're searching for the right words - to keep your language as simple and direct as Roman rood. Don't make a big production out of it. Just lay it on the table."

"Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is."

"Life is boring. People are vengeful. Good things always end. We do so many things and we don’t know why, and if we do find out why, it’s decades later and knowing why doesn’t matter any more."
