I never want projects to be finished; I have always believed in unfinished work. I got that from Schubert, you know, the 'Unfinished Symphony.'

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

You change the world by being yourself.

Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.

Smile to the future and it will smile back to you

Every drop in the ocean counts.

Fracking kills, and it doesn't just kill us. It kills the land, nature and, eventually, the whole world.

Imagine a dolphin dancing in the sky. Let it dance with joy. Think of yourself at the bottom of the ocean watching.

Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.

Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.

Healing yourself is connected with healing others.

If I could start over today, I would choose literature again. If the answers exist in the world or in the universe, I still think that's where we're going to find them.

The moment you try working on what appears difficult to you, you will start noticing it’s loopholes that you can breakthrough.

As he pulled the crayon out

When the heart is full it runs out of the eyes.

Inspiration does not come like a bolt nor is it kinetic energy striving but it comes to us slowly and quietly and all the time.

O money, money, how blindly thou hast been worshipped, and how stupidly abused! Thou are health and liberty and strength, and he that has thee may rattle his pockets at the foul fiend!

We're always attracted to the edges of what we are, out by the edges where it's a little raw and nervy.

We want to feel that this earth is all ours, like our parents' house when we were children.

I think that things happen individually first, and then collectively. It's not the other way around.

Even the best intentions turn around one day... Nobody's right all the time.
