Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.
What I cannot love, I overlook. Is that real friendship?
Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.

When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.
The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.
