“Do not ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”

“No artist is pleased. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others through creativity.”

“The meaning of life is just to be alive it is so plain and so obvious and so simple”
