I have a few. "Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's the person." "The way I see it, life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant." "The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering." “It is the job that is never started that takes longest to finish." "I'm old enough to know that a longer life isn't always a better one. In the end, you just get tired; tired of the struggle, tired of losing everyone that matters to you, tired of watching everything you love turn to dust. If you live long enough, Lazarus, the only certainty left is that you'll end up alone." "Courage isn't just a matter of not being frightened, you know. It's being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway." "As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves" "The universe is big, it's vast and complicated and... ridiculous, and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles." "The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." "As long as I breathe I hope. As long as I breathe I shall fight for the future, that radiant future, in which man, strong and beautiful, will become master of the drifting stream of his history and will direct it towards the boundless horizons of beauty, joy and happiness!" "As long as I breathe I hope. As long as I breathe I shall fight for the future..." "Don't do stupid sh**" And finally, the one that affects me deeply most: "Those who smile most are those who have experienced the most pain."
