Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me, leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping.

Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones.

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones

Strawberry fields forever

Strawberry Fields is anywhere you want to go

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!

Anyone - your daddy or mine, your ancestor or mine, your god or mine - who bays for blood of "infidels" is an a***ole. And non-divine.

I never just dreamed of success, I worked for it. Dreaming is good, but working is what gets you results.

The work of art is a scream of freedom.

I get so nervous. I happen to be socially awkward and shy. I spent a lot of my time as an adult not going places.

I started Pilates. I'm the only guy in there. They plot before I get there: 'How can we make John look ridiculous?' Because every exercise involved my legs up, like I'm in the stirrups or something.

[Librarians] study their field with as much determination and as much delight as open-heart surgeons.

We have received a dog with serious eye problems and a skin disease in hopeless stage. The person who brought it here demanded we cure it for free and refused the idea of euthanasia to end its pain.

Even among the angels, there is the sadness of division.

Your power to choose your direction of your life allows you to reinvent yourself, to change your future, and to powerfully influence the rest of creation.

I don't think in terms of failure....I don't feel like anyone outside of me should be setting limitations. People should be encouraged to shoot for the moon.
