I have found that it is much easier to make a success in life than to make a success of one's life.

the hardest thing in life is to accept the facts that are hard to accept and to accept the things you can't accept.

Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities of the world. If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn.

Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.

Free haircuts are definitely a nice perk.

Desire is happiness: satisfaction as happiness is merely the ultimate moment of desire. To be wish and wish alone is happiness, and a new wish over and over again.

If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, the possibility of life is destroyed.

The only weapons I ever had were my cello and my baton.

Who says the eternal being does not exist? Who says the sun has gone out? Someone who climbs up on the roof and closes his eyes tight, and says, I don't see anything.

Life can only be enjoyed as one acquires a true perspective of life and death and of the real purpose of life.
