A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

You accept that this civilisation could be abolished and life will begin later on after a few thousand years because that is something that has happened in the history of this planet. When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair there is no hope.

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

As an entrepreneur, I have been known for taking risks throughout my career, but leaving the European Union is not one of the risks I would want the U.K. to take – not as an investor, not as a father, and not as a grandfather. I am deeply concerned about the impact of leaving.

The love of the family, the love of one person can heal. It heals the scars left by a larger society. A massive, powerful society.

Everybody’s journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.

Man is always looking for someone to boast to; woman is always looking for a shoulder to put her head on.

My whole life has been one big improvisation.

We conceal it from ourselves in vain – we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.

I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.

Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.

If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change. This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre. All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.

I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go – that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

Fame may go by and – so long, I’ve had you.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.

The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.

If you had your life to live over again, do it overseas.

I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

Life must be lived as play.

Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.

You gotta understand: I believe a woman should praise the man, the king. If you holding it down for your woman, I feel like the woman should praise. And the man should praise the queen.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.

The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.

The astronomer will believe that the most erratic comet will yet accomplish its journey and revisit our sphere; but we give up those for lost who have not wandered one-half the distance from the centre of light and life.

Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.

The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently, but to live manfully.

It is a true rule that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque or with an inward and secret contempt.

‚Nation‘ was one that I’d have killed myself if I hadn’t written it. It was absolutely important to me that I wrote it. It was good for my soul.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

If thy brother wrongs thee, remember not so much his wrong-doing, but more than ever that he is thy brother.

Hear reason, or she’ll make you feel her.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.

There is nothing permanent except change.

I’m very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.

Sex without love is a meaningless experience, but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.

It is very hard to not be able to engage with people in a real and honest way because they either want something from me, or they see me as something that I simply am not.

I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don’t let anybody tell you different.

Freedom is something that dies unless it’s used.

You are doomed to make choices. This is life’s greatest paradox.

Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse.

Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.

But there is a difference between cozying up to power and being close to power.

People were saying that David Geffen and I had gotten married and it just blew me away. Not that they thought I was gay, but that they thought I could land a guy that hot.

Naturally, there are times when every woman likes to be flattered… to feel she is the most important thing in someone’s world. Only a man can paint this picture.

A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums.

My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.

Mars is the only place in the solar system where it’s possible for life to become multi-planetarian.

I have a very good family. I’m very fortunate to have a very good family. I believe very strongly in the family. It’s one of the things we have in our platform, is to talk about it.

He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
