The reason of idleness and of crime is the deferring of our hopes. Whilst we are waiting, we beguile the time with jokes, with sleep, with eating, and with crimes.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something.

Beauty without expression tires.

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.

Life Is a Journey, Not a Destination.

Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

We always need a sound reason to move on, and we always pretend to have it.

I always claimed I became the Batman to fight crime. That was a lie. I did it to overcome the fear.

We need grief as a precursor to emotional refreshment, and so consume it vicariously in somewhat titrated but powerful enough form through engagement with the arts.

I wear white or pale-blue shirts and black knit ties: They don't draw attention to me in any kind of peacockish way.

I'm a painter, I'm an artist. I take things too far sometimes. I really need some comfort.

It boils down to how much do you really believe and want it.

It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.

I could be really sad and I start to cry; I feel alive then. I could be at a concert and I throw my hands up in the air and I feel elation; I feel alive then.

The very idea of having children brings out this deep revulsion in me.
