Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself. The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp. The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't.
Life is like an onion, which one peels crying.
There is no cure for birth and death, save to enjoy the interval. You've got to love life to live it. On Love Love is eternal. The aspect may change, but not the essence. There is more pleasure in loving than in being beloved.
