"How terribly sad it was that people are made in such a way that they get used to something as extraordinary as living."

"Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky."

"How unhappy does one have to be before living seems worse than dying?"

"All teachings are mere references. The true experience is living your own life. Then, even the holiest of words are only words."

"I don't understand dating.. and the other things that people do.. all I know is that you ought to find the one you recognize. The one who gives you four arms, four legs, four eyes, and has the other half of your heart. There's only one of those, so what are all the other things for? Like dating?"

"You read and write and sing and experience, thinking that one day these things will build the character you admire to live as. You love and lose and bleed best you can, to the extreme, hoping that one day the world will read you like the poem you want to be."

"I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves."

"People living deeply have no fear of death."

"You've a good heart. Sometimes that's enough to see you safe wherever you go. But mostly, it's not."

"Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out."

"We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving."

"We can live forever even with an impactful shorter-life."

"Create your best life with your consciously chosen thoughts, words, and actions."

"As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning."

"I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live."

"For me an object is something living. This cigarette or this box of matches contains a secret life much more intense than that of certain human beings."

"The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly."
