I have never felt that anything really mattered but knowing... - Eleanor Roosevelt

"Happiness is not a goal...it's a by-product of a life well lived."

"Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life."

"A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong it is until it's in hot water."

"It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death."

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
