We are more than the person who wakes each day. We are the dreams of the previous night and the nightmares of the week before.

I have often believed the pen to be a needle, and ink to be a thread. Each story is an intricately woven tapestry and with each word I invariably sew a piece of myself into the page.

The death of a lesser man is the death of all those who believe themselves to be greater.

When the time comes for you to leave this earth, if it doesn’t become a lesser place with your absence, then you have wasted your life.

Knowledge is too final. Not knowing lets you dream a little.

I hasten to sleep so that I might dreamand colour my mind with a myriad of things.

In a corner of my soul there hides a tiny frightened child, who is frightened by a corner where there lingers something wild.

I saw you before. All your flaws, your imperfections. Your body’s going to a lot of trouble to hide something, something inside of you. It must be very precious.

Love, they said, burns youand builds you.But with you, there’s no ash.Just light.

Poetry begins where language starts: in the shadows and accidents of one person’s life.

Whenever someone says the word community, I want to reach for an oxygen mask.

I learned to see beauty in everything and ugliness in everything. I developed a very honest perspective.

Each person is living for himself; his own happiness is all he can ever personally feel.

Always make the best of the best, and never make bad worse.

... where a man's wound is, that is where his genius will be.

You don't have the power to make rainbows or waterfalls, sunsets or roses, but you do have the power to bless people by your words and smiles You carry within you the power to make the world better.

Poetry is the music of the soul, and, above all, of great and feeling souls.

The purpose of autonomous driving is to eliminate accidents.
