Modern poets add a lot of water to their ink.

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

Relinquish your ideology of control, for it is merely a mirage anyway.

alcohol played the midwife

I do believe there's life other than on our planet.

I don't think I've got bad taste. I've got no taste.

What's been exciting for me is to read the scripts.

I always wondered if there was a purpose to the universe, if there was a plan, if there was some sort of organizing factor, hopefully that I played a role in.

The corruption of the best is the worst.

Everyone is just so serious right now, especially in fashion.

The material of literary talent is words; the material of story talent is life itself.

Do the math: You never settle for less than the whole if you knew the half.
