“If you’re not enjoying your work, you should either change your attitude, or change your job.”

Is it really possible to tell someone else what one feels?

Grow spiritually and help others to do so. It is the meaning of life.

I’m like a starving man who has been given food. Maybe he’s cold, and his clothes are torn, and he’s ashamed, but he’s not unhappy.

Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.

Be bad, but at least don’t be a liar, a deceiver!

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

Human science fragments everything in order to understand it, kills everything in order to examine it.

I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love.

The law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.

There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.

The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness.

He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.

Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know.

The more is given the less the people will work for themselves, and the less they work the more their poverty will increase.

Rest, nature, books, music – such is my idea of happiness.

People are terrified of me, and I want them to be.

I just really wanted to be myself. I wanted to be sassy, the attitude, all these things that I am.

Sometimes you’ve got to kick your heels off and sit down a minute, so you can be ready for your next step!

Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.

There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.

I’m happy to be alive, I’m happy to be who I am.

The greatest geniuses sometimes accomplish more when they work less.

So if you are the big tree, we are the small axe. Ready to cut you down, to cut you down.
