I come closer to my desk as to a bulwark against life.

The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!

Life is what we make of it. Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.

The slope takes you to the windmill, but effort takes you nowhere.

We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own concept—our own selves—that we love.

There are no norms. All people are exceptions to a rule that doesn’t exist.

It's been a long time since I've been me.

I bear the wounds of all the battles I avoided.

You can't allow someone's hate to dictate your life.

What makes a champion is not how elegantly you start, but how strongly you finish...!!

Don't date a woman without cable (no cable, no SportsCenter).

Dreams, I thought. They're the riches of a poor person, stashed in treasure chests buried deeply in the imagination. But are dreams enough?
