Yes, talking to people makes me sleepy.

The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!

Life is what we make of it. Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.

My soul is a hidden orchestra; I know not what instruments, what fiddlestrings and harps, drums and tamboura I sound and clash inside myself. All I hear is the symphony.

The slope takes you to the windmill, but effort takes you nowhere.

We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own concept—our own selves—that we love.

There are no norms. All people are exceptions to a rule that doesn’t exist.

It's been a long time since I've been me.

I bear the wounds of all the battles I avoided.

Human rights are not things that are put on the table for people to enjoy. These are things you fight for and then you protect.

What's sad about not eating is the experience, whether at a family reunion or at midnight by yourself in a greasy spoon under the L tracks. The loss of dining, not the loss of food.

It brings me no joy and not enough comfort to dwell too much on things I've said or written or made or worn in the past.

How many souls have been blown into hell with the wind of popular applause?

We honor revelation too highly to make it the antagonist of reason, or to believe that it calls us to renounce our highest powers.
