Of all human foibles love of living is the most powerful.

It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.

The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.

Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.

I assure you, an educated fool is more foolish than an uneducated one.

I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart.

People spend most of their lives worrying about things that never happen.

I hate all men, the ones because they are mean and vicious, and the others for being complaisant with the vicious ones.

I learned to ski at a young age and love it - but I don't get to do it as much as I'd like because of the risk of injuries.

For me, beauty is a physical sensation, something we feel with our whole body. It is not the result of judgement. We do not arrive at it by way of rules. We either feel beauty or we don't.

I don't believe in luck. Like I didn't win a lot of races for awhile, and it's because I didn't put myself in position to win enough of them.

There are no statues erected to critics.
