Give me silence, water, hope Give me struggle, iron, volcanoes.

He who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, she who does not find grace in herself, dies slowly.

If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life

Love is not about property, diamonds and gifts. It is about sharing your very self with the world around you.

In one kiss, you'll know all I haven't said.

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

Every day you play with the light of the universe.

Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.

And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us.

If each day falls inside each night, there exists a well where clarity is imprisoned. We need to sit on the rim of the well of darkness and fish for fallen light with patience.

Love is splendid light.

Ultimately, I think the movie's about working as a means of finding meaning in your life. It's about the lesson, the great lesson, of just working, working and being productive.

To a zealot every one of his own sect is a saint, while the most upright of a different sect are to him children of perdition.

Love renders all our plans and all our intentions a great big gamble.

I don't want people to know what I'm actually like. It's not good for an actor.

It's my obligation to take out all the 'wrong' pictures.

What do I ask of a painting? I ask it to astonish, disturb, seduce, convince.

I never thought I was playing black music. I was just playing music, the stuff I liked. I sang blues at parties and things when I was a kid.

I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.

I have no fear, I have only ambition, and I want mine, And I will do anything to protect and feed my family.
