My words wear no parachutes as they fall out of my mouth.

Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat. That I have one, too.

All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.

The world is a mess and I want to laugh because all I can think is how horrible and beautiful it is, that our eyes blur the truth when we can't bear to see it.

I love walking into a bookstore. It's like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me.

Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.

The words get easier the moment you stop fearing them.

I can do anything I want. Be with anyone I want. And it'll be my choice.

I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.

It's the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world.

People seldom realize that they tell lies with their lips and truths with their eyes all the time.

The sky is the part of creation in which nature has done for the sake of pleasing man.

I never share credit or desserts.

And most of my early pictures failed but about one in a 100 somehow looked better than what I saw.

Joy is big. Joy lives in your own drunken electrons, billions of them, spinning and dancing without end in their own intimate Universe, longing for You.

A lifetime isn't long enough for the beauty of this world and the responsibilities of your life.

I want to end my career on my terms, not on what people think I should do.

Believe it or not, Japanese is actually easier than some European languages!

The first music you really fall in love with is more than just music. It's something that clicks in you beyond the song; it's a message or image that causes you to jump in and not let go.
