Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious. |

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. |

The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along. |

The wound is the place where the Light enters you. |

Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig. |

Hands, do what you’re bid:
Bring the balloon of the mind
That bellies and drags in the wind
Into its narrow shed. |

It was at that age that poetry came in search of me. |

Let us forget with generosity those who cannot love us. |

Love is so short, forgetting is so long. |

If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it's within your reach. And it'll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build. It'll be worth it, I promise. |

A well-designed and humane interface does not need to be split into "beginner" and "expert" subsystems. |

I am a cage, in search of a bird. |

How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. |

Listen to your client, take into consideration all of their input, weigh the options, study the details, know the target audience, and then, if necessary, ignore all of it and design what you think will work best. |

In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is — as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art. |

You can't get lost if you don't know where you are going. |

To look is to learn, if you listen carefully. |

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heavens sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something. |

Go into the Arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. |

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. |

Light is this amazing elixir. We drink light through the skin as vitamin D so we are, literally, light eaters. It is part of our diet. |

Nothing comes from Nowhere. |

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. |
