The soul is healed by being with children. |

I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea. |

The darker the night, the brighter the stars,
The deeper the grief, the closer is God! |

What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love. |

Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth. |

To go wrong in one's own way is better then to go right in someone else's. |

No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life. |

To teach is to create a space in which obedience to truth is practiced. |

To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing. |

The odds are irrelevant; if it’s possible and it matters, you take the shot and you never give up. |

Ultimately, we are deluding ourselves if we think that the products that we design are the ‘things’ that we sell, rather than the individual, social and cultural experience that they engender, and the value and impact that they have. Design that ignores this is not worthy of the name. |

The customer is always right about asking. |

There is a limit to the amount of misery and disarray you will put up with, for love, just as there is a limit to the amount of mess you can stand around a house. You can't know the limit beforehand, but you will know when you've reached it. |

The constant happiness is curiosity. |

Life teaches you how to live it, if you live long enough. |

When information is cheap, attention becomes expensive. |

What is more dangerous than to become a poet? which is, as some say, an incurable and infectious disease. |

He who reads much and walks much, goes far and knows much. |

Hunger is the best sauce in the world. |

Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn. |

Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be. |

I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose. |

In this modern world where activity is stressed almost to the point of mania, quietness as a childhood need is too often overlooked. Yet a child's need for quietness is the same today as it has always been--it may even be greater--for quietness is an essential part of all awareness. In quiet times and sleepy times a child can dwell in thoughts of his own, and in songs and stories of his own. |

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. |
