The whole problem of life, then, is this: how to break out of one's own loneliness, how to communicate with others.

We do not remember days, we remember moments.

The only joy in the world is to begin.

Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic.

Remember, writing poetry is like making love: one will never know whether one's own pleasure is shared.

We do not free ourselves from something by avoiding it, but only by living though it.

Lessons are not given, they are taken.

The only joy in the world is to begin. It is good to be alive because living is beginning, always, every moment.

The art of living is the art of knowing how to believe lies. The fearful thing about it is that, not knowing what truth may be, we can still recognize lies.

We never remember days, only moments.

Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in this world.

God’s provision

You shall not be afraid to hear bad news. God will strengthen you.

Now, even when I see the trailers, I get so excited because it's like I'm seeing a movie that I haven't seen at all before, whatsoever. And then I just happen to be in it.

When I get in the sun I get very tanned. You can't tell me from the native fishermen in Hawaii or Mexico.

When I really young yet feeling very old, I offered up a lot of myself to the press; I knew it was good copy.

If the staffe be crooked, the shadow cannot be straight.

But I have no desire for fame and power anymore. I crawled out of the swamp and I'm not crawling back in.

Nobody ever asks men about the work-life balance, and I just find that interesting, because clearly, I would imagine most men also want to be good fathers, and I'm sure they want to be good partners.

When I say right, it just has to be well thought out. I feel like I'm on a pretty good roll, and it can't be me trying to force what might be perceived to be next.
