Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.

The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about nor read about nor seen but if one will are to be lived.

Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself.

When it comes to love, compassion, and other feelings of the heart, I am rich.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it.
