To live in love is life's greatest challenge. It requires more sublety, flexibility, sensitivity, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, knowledge and strength than any other human endeavor.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Love yourself-accept yourself-forgive yourself-and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

He shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together:

The realisation that limitations are imaginary will make you strong and overpowering.

I suppose what one wants really is ideal company and books are ideal company.

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.

You can never really know the scriptures until you're willing to be changed by them.

I don't think the riots derailed the civil rights movement.

You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.

It was a tradition to represent a dancer frozen in a chosen position, like a snapshot. I broke away from this tradition by superimposing postures, blending light and motion and scrambling the planes.

I don't think special attention should be given to an actor or a singer or a baseball player or a soccer player more than anyone else, but they do have an opinion like anyone else.

Cuz I was never pretty anyway and never cared anything about that.
