To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction is to live twice.

If you love somebody let them go, for if they return they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

The timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.

Any fool can know. The point is to understand.

The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.

Anyone who holds a true opinion without understanding is like a blind man on the right road.

Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain.
