We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

The freedom to make my own mistakes is all I ever wanted.

I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.

Failure is irrelevant unless it is catastrophic.

If you kill a cockroach, you are a hero; if you kill a butterfly, you are evil; morality has aesthetic standards.

You have to die a few times before you can really live.

Life is a tragedy in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring there.

Beautiful things don't ask for attention

Not all those who wander are lost;

Forgetfulness is a form of freedom
