I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

You are who you are meant to be. Dance as if no one's watching. Love as if it's all you know. Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

I think the prime reason for existence, for living in this world is discovery.

Remember: Life is short, break the rules

My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

If you’re not afraid, if you take everything you are, everything worthwhile in you and direct it at one goal, one ultimate mark, you’ve got to get there.

But you can't show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You've got to show what it's really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.

Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse.

The human propensity is to believe that flukes of good fortune will never come to an end.

The only person I really believe in is me.

The books I loved in childhood - the first loves - I’ve read so often that I’ve internalized them in some really essential way: they are more inside me now than out.

From that moment on, the newspaper became a highly lucrative investment for those with a talent for making money or for publishers wanting to gain a fortune.

I have no trouble publishing in Soviet astrophysical journals, but my work is unacceptable to the American astrophysical journals.

I'm not the healthiest eater, but I try to watch what I eat during the week. I kind of splurge on the weekends and eat french fries and pizza.

Often, just as when they were children, it was four against one when some argument came up. At least they no longer sat on him to force him to submit to their wishes.

If somebody accuses you in a story of being a crook, you can demand that they prove it. But if a comic says it and you protest, people say, 'What's the matter, you can't take a joke?

See the ridiculous in everything.

I'm passionate about nature and the respect, peace, and beauty I derive from it. My voice, my live performance, and when I'm in the studio. My children and love.
