There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
You have to live spherically – in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm – and things will come your way.
A different language is a different vision of life.
I think that one can have luck if one tries to create an atmosphere of spontaneity.
I spent my life trying to cure myself of my education.
You exist only in what you do.

No matter what happens, always keep your childhood innocence. It’s the most important thing.
If I’m a cruel satirist at least I’m not a hyprocrite: I never judge what other people do. Neither a politician nor a priest, I never censor what others do. Neither a philospher nor a psychiatrist, I never bother trying to analyze or resolve my fears and neuroses.
The visionary is the only realist.
Life is a combination of magic and pasta.
Regrets are a waste of time. They’re the past crippling you in the present.
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.

I never make moral judgments; I’m not qualified to do so. I am not a censor, a priest, or a politician.
For people who live in the imagination, there is no lack of subjects. To seek for the exact moment at which inspiration comes is false. Imagination floods us with suggestions all the time, from all directions.
Nothing is more honest than a dream.
Our minds can shape the way a thing will be because we act according to our expectations.
Nothing is sadder than laughter; nothing more beautiful, more magnificent, more uplifting and enriching than the terror of deep despair.
