When you prick a person with a needle, red blood comes out- that's the real world.

I'm all alone, but I'm not lonely.

If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person.

Time flows in strange ways on Sundays, and sights become mysteriously distorted.

A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.

Life is not like water. Things in life don't necessarily flow over the shortest possible route.

I can bear any pain as long as it has meaning.

It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words.

This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope.

It's not me but the world that's deranged.

What I want is for the two of us to meet somewhere by chance one day, like, passing on the street, or getting on the same bus.

A real secret is something which only one person knows.

Truth is such a rare thing it is delightful to tell it,

All my life, I have maintained that the people of the world can learn to live together in peace if they are not brought up in prejudice.

Some writers hate to go to trials, but I love trials.

True 'magic' is simply the ability to transcend what seems to be and, thus, transform one's experience. Maybe we could all use a little 'Harry Potter' in our lives.

I don't listen to what people say, people been talking about me since I was born.

I always had this romantic notion of living in New York. I just felt like, everyone could be different and weird and whatever they are in New York.

Anyone who wasn't half-stoned on pain meds would have instantly realized what a really bad idea this plan was, but since that didn't include me, I didn't worry about it.

The startups that do well are the ones that are working all the time.

The wicked are wicked, no doubt, and they go astray and they fall, and they come by their deserts; but who can tell the mischief which the very virtuous do?
