“You can’t try to do things; you simply must do them.”

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?

You knew the sweetness of now, now, TONIGHT! who cares for tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing, yesterday is over and done, tonight live, tonight!

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.

If you learn only methods, you’ll be tied to your methods, but if you learn principles you can devise your own methods.

The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.

Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.

We do the best we can in life, we take things one day at a time and sometimes we all just need a simple reminder of that.

Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple; sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

If we could throw away the hate and make love last another day, don’t give up just for today, life would be so simple

Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple, sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

How many undervalue the power of simplicity ! But it is the real key to the heart.

Delight and liberty, the simple creed of childhood.

And suddenly all your troubles melt away, all your worries are gone, and it is for no reason other than the look in your partner’s eyes. Yes, sometimes life and love really is that simple.
