You are what you believe yourself to be.
Don’t waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.
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.
People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.
In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.
Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.
Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them.
Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.
Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.
Your eyes show the strength of your soul.
Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.
How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it.
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
The strongest love is the love that can demonstrate its fragility.
Stay mad, but behave like normal people. Run the risk of being different, but learn to do so without attracting attention.
No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.
I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved. I’m a housewife and a prostitute, both of us living in the same body and doing battle with each other.
I’ve learned that waiting is the most difficult bit, and I want to get used to the feeling, knowing that you’re with me, even when you’re not by my side.
Certain things in life simply have to be experienced -and never explained. Love is such a thing.
When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.
