Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more.

Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage.

My burden is living for those who didn't.

Kids don't know about bestsellers. They go for what they enjoy. They aren't star-chasers and they don't suck up. It's why I like them.

British people are smarter than American people.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Curiosity, creativity, discovery and wonder; they aren’t traits of youth, they’re traits of learning. If you want to feel younger and you want to replicate the conditions of youth, do that.

I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.

Retail is detail.

The plain state of being human is dramatic enough for anyone; you don't need to be a heroin addict or a performance poet to experience extremity. You just have to love someone.
