Whenever I see an ambulance, I like to think there is a baby being born, rather than a death.

Be yourself. Don't worry about what other people are thinking of you.

If you hate something, the best way to beat it is to be better than anyone else in it.

Life is tragic for those who have plenty to live on and nothing to live for.

The fear of death never left me; I couldn't get used to the thought; I would still sometimes shake and weep with terror. By contrast, the fact of existence here and now sometimes took on a glorious splendour.

No matter how many plans you make or how much in control you are, life is always winging it.
