“The soul is healed by being with children.”

This is my last message to you: in sorrow, seek happiness.

To go wrong in one’s own way is better than to go right in someone else’s.

Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.

I am alone, I thought, and they are everybody.

If there is no God, everything is permitted.

To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise.

The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.

Man is sometimes extraordinarily, passionately, in love with suffering.

What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.

Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him.

Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.

I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.

When reason fails, the devil helps!

People speak sometimes about the “bestial” cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.

I think the devil doesn’t exist, but man has created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness.

It’s the true meaning of music being a universal language, constantly fighting and going through different boundaries in order for new people to hear the music and be like, “Oh, sh*t! I mess with this Pitbull kid.”

My first crush was this kid in kindergarten who told me he had tigers in his attic as well.

I wish all the mothers, fathers and children out there realize how much I need them and how much I value their support.

An ugly baby is a very nasty object – and the prettiest is frightful.

I’ve always told my children that once they go out into the world, they must have two heads and two minds: one to keep grounded, the other to deal with corporate America.

The great man is he who does not lose his child’s heart.

Hugs can do great amounts of good – especially for children.

If men had to have babies, they would only ever have one each.
