"Origami Master If you're the greatest origami master in the worldmaybe I can find you a job folding napkins at a restaurant.I'm not making any promises."

"I was in love one time, I said as I held up my pinky. I would have held up my index finger, but I wasn't in love that long."

"There are so many opportunities in life, that the loss of two or three capabilities is not necessarily debilitating. A handicap can give you the opportunity to focus more on art, writing, or music."

"If you have a painting in you, paint. If you have a song to sing, sing. Don’t judge your creation. Just create it. Banish doubt and fear and step out of your own way if you have to. Write if you’re a writer and invent if you’re an inventor. Do what you were born to do. Only then will you know a remarkable life."

"I'm dealing with a lot of scary things. I think you have to react to them. And you either laugh at them or you go insane."

"Associate with the noblest people you can find; read the best books; live with the mighty; but learn to be happy alone."

"It's amazing how quickly nature consumes human places after we turn our backs on them. Life is a hungry thing."

"I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university."

"Your time is way too valuable to be wasting on people that can't accept who you are."

"He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how."

"We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!"

"Be in love with your life, every detail of it."

"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That’s how they define Reality. But what does it mean to be “correct” or “true”? Merely vague concepts… Their Reality may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"

"Catch sunbeams in a mirror! A reflection of a sunbeam can melt an iceberg."

"It didn't make you noble to step away from something that wasn't working, even if you thought you were the reason for the malfunction. Especially then. It just made you a quitter. Because if you were the problem, chances were you could also be the solution. The only way to find out was to take another shot."
