Don't you like to write letters? I do because it's such a swell way to keep from working and yet feel you've done something.

If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing.

Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place then come down and shoot the survivors.

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: Worry never fixes anything.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.

I drink to make other people more interesting.

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.

Whatever you see you gotta keep a sense of humor

I can live alone, if self-respect, and circumstances require me so to do.  I need not sell my soul to buy bliss.

I came to abominate my body, I came to sense that two eyes, two hands, two lungs are as monstrous as two faces.

How many lives are frittered away, age after age, in endless coming and going. Find out who you are!

You see a lot of so-called architecture that part of the ego trip overpowers the functionality and the budget and all that stuff.

I've always had real trouble knowing what my actual desires and goals are. I've just been dragged along by fate.

For truth itself has not the privilege to be spoken at all times and in all sorts.

I'm quadracontinental. I've got a life in London, New York, L.A. and Hawaii.
