I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.

To make a perfume, take some rose water and wash your hands in it, then take a lavender flower and rub it with your palms, and you will achieve the desired effect

Being willing is not enough. We must do.

Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.

There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, those who do not see.

Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.

Whatever you do in life, if you want to be creative and intelligent, and develop your brain, you must do everything with the awareness that everything, in some way, connects to everything else.

When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first of what is still to come.

All you need is a little hope in order cope in times of failure, and be able to try again with a better intelligence for excellence!

Anyone can take an adventure even if it's only in your own backyard. Let your imagination be your adventure and see where it takes you.

Let's take a walk. You can show me some of your memories and I'll show you some of mine.

Painting seems like some kind of peculiar miracle that I need to have again and again.

Why do I feel you hear these prayers of mine, when so many ought to be ahead of me in line?

I'd say most of my work is just trying to make sense of the disorienting and overloaded world that we inhabit. We're bombarded with sound at every level.

My truth is relevant and my songs are relevant, but I have to recalibrate myself and speed up my vibrations so that I can communicate with the voice of this generation.

We are entering a period of human history that may provide an answer to the question of whether it is better to be smart than stupid.

I'm a hopeless fu**ing romantic. That's a part of me that a lot of people don't know about. They know everything there is to know about another part of me, but not a thing about my heart.'- Tommy Lee
