The ceaseless labour of your life is to build the house of death.

The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.

Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened.

There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees.

A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.

Experience has taught me this, that we undo ourselves by impatience. Misfortunes have their life and their limits, their sickness and their health.

Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside equally desperate to get out.

The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness.

Life can only be live with grace and gratitude.

The purpose of teachers should be to add to the sum of human knowers rather than the sum of human knowledge.

Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn.

My art has nothing to do with servicing collectors, it's for living, for turning on with.

I haven't played a single game all year. This is bullshit!

We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before.

I am sure people tell you this constantly but if you looked up 'incredibly beautiful' in the dictionary there would be a picture of you.

While all is new, all is beautiful. That is a well-known song. Yes, and the next day the air changes into another one equally well known.

I am lucky to have good Polish skin that doesn't wrinkle so I might be around for a few years yet.

For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don't think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I'm with them.
