Being tough today might cause you to be weak in the future.

Everybody dies. It’s no risk to lose your life. You knew it was lost from the beginning.

It remains for you to save one before saving others, to lead one before leading others.

If all you do is think about what you need, you’re no better than an animal in the woods, and no smarter either. To be human, you’ve got to want. It makes you smarter and stronger.

The history of all times, and of today especially, teaches that...women will be forgotten if they forget to think about themselves.

Grunge, man, that was incredible. It was dangerous. It was not verse/chorus. Songs could be short, long, a lark, majestic. You were constantly being surprised.

Getting older is the best thing that ever happened to me. I wake up every morning rejoicing that I'm still here with an opportunity to begin again and be better

Words are finite organs of the infinite mind. They cannot cover the dimensions of what is in truth. They break, chop, and impoverish it.
