Living is risking.

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.

I shall die very young...maybe seventy, maybe eighty, maybe ninety. But I shall be very young.

As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead.

Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.

I have always had the urge to open forbidden doors: with a curiosity and an obstinacy that verge on masochism.

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

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

You believe you could not live with the pain. Such pain is not lived with. It is only endured. I am sorry.

In order to be happy, every person must have: 1. Something meaningful to do. 2. Someone to love. (Friends and family and pets all count.) 3. Something to look forward to. It's really that simple.

Get out on the stage of life.

Nissan is designing a car that will read the driver's mind. I already know what I'm going to do. I want a car that will read the other guy's mind.

Right now I’m inspired to fight for the honour of my country.

What evil is there in seeing a man possess a woman? Why, the beasts would be more free than we!

Have you ever wondered what a human life is worth? That morning, my brother's was worth a pocket watch.

Repeating moves in an ending can be very useful. Apart from the obvious gain of time on the clock one notices that the side with the advantage gains psychological benefit.
