Life is going to unfold however it does: pleasant or unpleasant, disappointing or thrilling, expected or unexpected, all of the above! What a relief it would be to know that whatever wave comes along, we can ride it out with grace.

So many bright futures consigned to the ashes of the past.So many dreams lost in the madness that had engulfed us.Except for a few widely scattered shouts of joy,the survivors of the abyss sat hollow-eyed and silent, trying to comprehend a world without war.

The universe is like a safe to which there is a combination. But the combination is locked up in the safe.

The mind is like water. When it's turbulent, it's difficult to see. When it's calm, everything becomes clear.

One should use common words to say uncommon things.

In art as in love, instinct is enough.

Sometimes one misses the sign posts as you're going down the road. They aren't as obvious as they become when you get to the end of the road, so to speak.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Life is the dancer and you are the dance.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
