If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.

Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I'm finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden.

To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.

To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be. ­

To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.

As you learn to love the company of the holy, your heart will become pure.

The mass of the rich and the poor are differentiated by their incomes and nothing else,and the average millionaire is only the average dishwasher dressed in a new suit.

Mighty to inspire new hopes, and able to drown the bitterness of cares.
