I used to advertise my loyalty and I don't believe there is a single person I loved that I didn't eventually betray.

People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.

When one has no character, one HAS to apply a method. Here it did wonders incontrovertibly, and I am living on the site of one of the greatest crimes in human history.

One plays at being immortal and after a few weeks one doesn't even know whether or not one can hang on till the next day.

I felt as though I was partly unlearning what i had never learned and yet knew so well: I mean, how to live.

Believe me, for certain men at least, not taking what one doesn't desire is the hardest thing in the world.

False judges are held up in the world’s admiration and I alone know the true ones.

You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.

But the heart has its own memory and I have forgotten nothing.

I never truly believed that human business was some serious thing.

It's okay to not know who you are and what you want. Those with the answers are usually very happy in their own stuck-ness

Forget the soul. No such ghost in the machine. What happens to our mind befalls our body also. The condition of the body is also the state of the mind.

Once you transcend the external differences, anything can be merged with anything.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I am happy I have competition. It keeps me on my toes all the while and stops me from becoming complacent. So, it works to my advantage.

Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more?

I want a part where I can use my own hair, my own voice, and maybe even be literate.

There's always opportunity in the now. If I'm there, I will seize it.

Failure isn't a character quality. It's just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.

I like to reminisce with people I don't know.
