Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don’t go along with that. The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.

The cost of trying is the lowest.

The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.

The desire for recognition, the thymotic part of the soul, is the most fundamentally human part of the soul.

I don't let negativity bring me down.

The cultivation of flowers and trees is the cultivation of the good, the beautiful and the true.
