To be poor, ugly and, moreover, intelligent condemns one in our society to a dark and disillusioned life...to beauty all is forgiven.

Personally I think that grammar is a way to attain beauty.

I thought: pity the poor in spirit who know neither the enchantment nor the beauty of language.

We think we can make honey without sharing in the fate of bees, but we are in truth nothing but poor bees, destined to accomplish our task and then die.

We can be friends. We can be anything we want to be.

If you have but one friend, make sure you choose her well.

So if there is something on the planet that is worth living for, I'd better not miss it, because once you're dead, it's too late for regrets, and if you die by mistake, that is really, really dumb.

Entrusting one's life is not the same as opening up one's soul.

I'm afraid to go into myself and see what's going on in there.

Because beauty consits of it's own passing, just as we reach for it. It's the ephemeral configuration of things in the moment, when you can see both their movement and their death.

I suddenly felt my spirit expand, for I was capable of grasping the utter beauty of the trees.

Sometimes respect is as hard a currency as money is

Dependence on drugs is not a disease, it is not a virus, it is not something that stalks only the dregs of society. Drug addiction is REALIZED EMOTIONAL DEFICIENCY SYNDROME.

I never talk about auditions. Even if I've got the role, I won't tell people until we're literally filming it.

I've been DJing mostly, and most DJs end up producing. That's just me.

Old events have modern meanings; only that survives of past history which finds kindred in all hearts and lives.

People in Philadelphia are a world apart from New York. They're very different from people in the New York scene. The New York scene wants your visibility and wants your money.

I found a piece of paradise to call my own, and life is worth living again, for to love you, to me, is to live.

Don't think about what you’ll tell people afterward. The time is here and now. Make the most of it.

Happy the society whose deepest divisions are ones of style.

Every person you meet is waging his or her own war against a callous universe that is plotting against them.
