“Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I’m borrowing energy from the ideas themselves.”

Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything.

Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything.

I don’t need an alarm clock. My ideas wake me.

If you love people you criticize them, and if you don’t love them you don’t criticize them, you let them go to hell, don’t you? To help any kind of friendship, your marriage, your children, you criticize because you love.

I’ve learned that by doing things, things get done.

Don’t think about things, just do them; don’t predict them, just make them.

The important thing is to be in love with something.

We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren’t happy. Something’s missing.

Sometimes I think I understand everything. Then I regain consciousness.

Write a thousand words a day and in three years you’ll be a writer!

A life’s work should be based on love.

You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?

The fundamental concept in social science is power, in the same sense in which energy is the fundamental concept in physics.

It is a waste of energy to be angry with a man who behaves badly, just as it is to be angry with a car that won’t go.

Surround yourself with energy that protects your energy.

Give your energy to those who intend to nourish it and not exhaust it.

Life is about building memories, creating energy, and helping people.

Focus on the ENERGY you create in this world.

Whatever you are holding back, it will never hold you with the same energy.
