In one kiss, you'll know all I haven't said.

He who does not travel, who does not read, who does not listen to music, who does not find grace in himself, she who does not find grace in herself, dies slowly.

If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life

Love is not about property, diamonds and gifts. It is about sharing your very self with the world around you.

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

Every day you play with the light of the universe.

Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.

You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.

And one by one the nights between our separated cities are joined to the night that unites us.

If each day falls inside each night, there exists a well where clarity is imprisoned. We need to sit on the rim of the well of darkness and fish for fallen light with patience.

Only a burning patience will lead to the attainment of a splendid happiness.

A dream comes from within you. It is what you were created to do, so it has always been there.

People are angry and dispirited about government because of a failure to do something about crime.

We can so easily deceive ourselves, mistaking the presence of physical bodies in a crowd for the existence of spiritual life in a community.

I try to stay as private as possible; I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.

If you vanquish ego-clinging today, tonight you will be enlightened.

The worlds originate so that truth may come and dwell therein.

I have a catch-phrase to describe my plot-generation technique -- 'What's the worst possible thing I can do to these people?'

Good and bad, strengths and faults, he was hers forever.

Most of us have the residue of thousands of songs in our ears, that if you end up songwriting, I think you're mostly smoking the residue of all that material you absorbed over time.

Success and happiness spring from facing failure after failure with enthusiasm.
