Sorrow is too great to exist in small hearts.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.

And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.

If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

I wanted my eternity in carbon molecules, in being part of the trees, the sky, air itself

People have told me, 'My dad passed on, but I have great memories of watching your shows with him.' It doesn't get any better than that.

For me, what is most important is the element of surprise. If I can surprise you with every film of mine, that is exactly what I am trying to do.

Human life began in flight and fear. Religion rose from rituals of propitiation, spells to lull the punishing elements.

The first time I tried to sing along with my guitar, everybody in the studio booed. They all said it wouldn't work.

If you become great, then you can become happy. If you're happy first, it's much more difficult to be great.

No one is going to beat the crap out of me more than me.

A novel seemed the easiest way to get what I had had in my head into the inside of other people's heads. Books are good that way.

When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.
