"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

"God surely did not create us, and cause us to live, with the sole end of wishing always to die. I believe, in my heart, we were intended to prize life and enjoy it, so long as we retain it.

"People living deeply have no fear of death."

"The best part about being a writer is being able to communicate with people without moving my lips. The mouth is better used for kissing."
