Love your enemies, for they determine who you are.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.

If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.

Life is but a mask worn on the face of death. And is death, then, but another mask? 'How many can say,' asks the Aztec poet, 'that there is, or is not, a truth beyond?'

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.

It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.

It's strange being here with you. I hardly know you. But...sometimes it feels like we're the same person born into two different worlds.

Don't think about sharks when you are walking on water.

Never complain and never explain.

And I always keep cards people send me. I have a whole wall covered with them.

I find you write with one person in mind. Usually for me that one person is my wife, because she's my most severe critic and understands best what I'm trying to do.

Understand who you are and who you want to be, and thereby learn how you may best relate to others.

We lost, and that's the main thing that went wrong.

The thing I liked about writing about food when I started it was that I felt I was writing about food in a different way. Not like a food writer.

I think if people looked at my body of work, they'd see a great breadth of work.

If the mind is willing, the flesh could go on and on without many things.
