“Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.”

People miss happiness by chasing after false values and repressing the feelings that make life valuable and beautiful.

I am an artist, not a politician.

Laughter is very close to tears and vice versa.

Our tragedies are only as big as we make them.

My tramp is made up of mimicry.

The desire for peace is universal.

Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease from pain.

I’m unconscious while I’m acting. I live the role and am not myself.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

In all truth there is the seed of falsehood.

That is all there is in life – beauty. You find that and you have found everything.

Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.

To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it.

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

By simple common sense I don’t believe in God, in none.

Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win.

Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings.

Dance until you shatter yourself.

All the resources we need are in the mind.

If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane.

I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.
