I am a parasite off beauty.

I like things that don't look like you're in control. It's like life itself. You just learn how to benefit from accidents and chances that you take.

Like society, the diary is a world of useless secrets. Everything is there, yet there is nothing.

I think the camera is a wonderful machine, don't you? And not to take photographs in this century is crazy.

I used to do horseback riding in the South, and it was just things I'd be pasting. I think my diaries was just an infantile desire to record things. I liked saving things instead of writing.

The whole world is a scab. The point is to pick it constructively.

The last thing left in nature is the beauty of women.

Rahasia alam semesta jauh lebih mudah dimengerti dibandingkan hati seorang perempuan.

If war is hard - and it is, forever and always - then after war is just as hard, in a different way.

We should live deeply and with delight for those who were cheated of life's gift.

Pretend you're not spending $3 to read one of my books but buying me a coffee and having a conversation about yourself.

I have never gone to a doctor in my adult life, feeling instinctively that doctors meant either cutting or, just as bad, diet.

Across the troubled maelstrom of time, people always need a beer.

He who fights with priests may make up his mind to have his poor good name torn and befouled by the most infamous lies and the most cutting slanders.

I don't listen to recordings of my songs. I don't avoid it, I just don't go out of my way to do it.

I want to find people who have had to work hard and who have learned from their failures. Perseverance is no guarantee you’ll succeed, but without it, it’s almost guaranteed you won’t.

I quite like mistakes. I think they're human.
