“The things we own, the places we live, the events of our lives: empty settings. How easy to chase after settings, and forget diamonds! The only thing that matters, at the end of a stay on earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love?”

“Perspective— Use It or Lose It. If you turned to this page, you're forgetting that what is going on around you is not reality. Think about that.”

“Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.”

“Such promises are only for the gulls that accept the ordinary. One who has touched excellence in his learning has no need of that kind of promise.”

“The original sin is to limit the Is. —Don't.”

“The opposite of loneliness, it's not togetherness. It is intimacy.”
