I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
After a while, you just kind of chill. It just becomes a whole different lifestyle and no one bothers you.
The human spirit is more powerful than any drug and THAT is what needs to be nourished: with work, play, friendship, family. THESE are the things that matter.
Reality: What a concept!
Reality is just a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.
Seize the day. Make your life extraordinary.
To be free. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world,
A human life is just a heartbeat in heaven.
Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting.
You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.
I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.
. . . when you have a great audience, you can just keep going and finding new things.
