I'd rather live with a tender heart, because that is the key to feeling the beat of all of the other hearts.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

Set wide the window. Let me drink the day.

The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.
