“If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform a million realities.”

Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.

Nothing will work unless you do.

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don’t know my story.

If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?

Most people don’t grow up. Most people age. They find parking spaces, honor their credit cards, get married, have children, and call that maturity. What that is, is aging.

Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

When you learn, teach, when you get, give.

Don’t let the man bring you down.

Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant.

Talent is like electricity. We don’t understand electricity. We use it.

In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.

If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.

I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.

Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

A window in Paris opens to a world of imagination.

Santa sobs recalling December’s decor, navigating joys volcano, overcoming dawns of insomnia, waking the snowflakes to find, yearlong sleep, which delightfulness sneaks!

I’m a temporary being consumed by a lifetime of fantasies.

The facts shouldn’t get in the way of a pleasant fantasy.

The creative writer does the same as the child at play; he creates a world of fantasy which he takes very seriously.

Often a cold shudder has run through me, and I have asked myself whether I may have not devoted myself to a fantasy.

I have always reacted negatively to those who with their snotty noses and erotic fantasies prowl into others’ lives.

I try to look at every role the same way, regardless of whether the character is real or the character is a fantasy. I always start from myself, because you have to know yourself first.
