The strange anthropological lesson of social media is that human beings, if given a choice, often prefer to socialise alone.

Reason leavened with a little wit (if possible) is the real alternative to hate speech, meaning that there's no better time for it.

I still believe in love. I always will. It's my blessing and my burden.

Just breathing can be such a luxury sometimes.

Art, art of any kind, shows that folks are trying.

Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it's someone else's witch being hunted.

Love is a powerful painkiller.

Sometimes, when a person is truly lost in this world, suffocating inside her private bubble where all she can hear is her own droning heartbeat, a touch can be enough.

The market is the only critic that matters.

The most beautiful faces have some ugly in them.

Some strangers become more important to you than family, maybe because you're not expected to love them. You can leave them whenever you want to. They can, too. Every moment together is a choice.

To make this world joyful, let your heart overflow with joy.

People are kinder to the unborn than they are to the women themselves, and soon I had my ticket.

There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity and nuclear power: the will.

We don't catch hold of an idea, rather the idea catches hold of us and enslaves us and whips us into the arena so that we, forced to be gladiators, fight for it.

The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows it to realize its supreme purpose through him.

If you're too free, you're like the way Hong Kong is now. It's very chaotic.

I do not approve the maxim which desires a man to know a little of everything. Superficial knowledge, knowledge without principles, is almost always useless and sometimes harmful knowledge.

The past doesn't determine your future unless you carry it with you into the present. Forgiving yourself and others, you free the universe to begin again at any moment.

The term 'giant' is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.

Where the elderly are not honored, there is no future for the young.
