...sometimes you get no second chance and that it's best to accept the gifts the world offers you.

...no one owns anything, everything is an illusion...anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realize that nothing really belongs to them.

...i can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. it's all a question of how i view my life.

...life is a fast, dizzying game; life is a parachute jump; it's taking chances, falling over and getting up again; it's mountaineering; it's wanting to get to the very top of yourself and to feel angry and dissatisfied when you don't manage it.

..in the search for happiness we are all equal.

...people talk as if they knew everything, but if you dare to ask a question, they don't know anything.

...freedom only exists when love is present. the person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves most wholeheartedly. and the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free.

...in love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel.

...the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.

...the great aim of every human being is to understand the meaning of total love. love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. but in order to do that, we need the other person. the universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.

..really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.

...the most important experiences a man can have are those that take him to the very limit; that is the only way we learn, because it requires all our courage.

...the strongest love is the love that can demonstrate its fragility.

...when i had nothing to lose, i had everything. when i stopped being who i am, i found myself.

...life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.

...certain things cannot be shared. nor can we be afraid of the oceans into which we plunge of our own free will; fear cramps everyone's style. amn goes through hell in order to understand this. love one another, but let's not try to possess one another.
