I’ll live in Puerto Rico until the day I die.

Bravery never goes out of fashion.

That I be not as those are who spend the day in complaining of headache and the night in drinking the wine which gives the headache!

In this constant battle which we call living, we try to set a code of conduct according to the society in which we are brought up, whether it be a Communist society or a so-called free society; we accept a standard of behaviour as part of our tradition as Hindus or Muslims or Christians or whatever we happen to be.

Man lives for science as well as bread.

Music is part of the life of fashion, too.

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?

In my normal life I’m a very unadventurous person.

As a teenager, I went to Bali a lot, but it’s a long, long way from England. Which is why, when we bought Necker Island, we made it like a mini Bali.

I always tell people that if I move anywhere it would be Toronto.

It is not living that matters, but living rightly.

Rebellion is what you make of it. When you’ve been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious.

The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.

You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.

One of my lungs is half gone, and the other half, because I smoked for years, has a lesion. So I can’t swim anymore and had the swimming pool covered over. Now it’s what I call the dance pavilion, and so I and my friends sit out and put music on and watch people dance.

Principles have no real force except when one is well-fed.

Too many of us now tend to worship self indulgence and consumption.

I still make sure to go, at least once every year, to a country where things cannot be taken for granted, and where there is either too much law and order or too little.

Back in Oakland, we have a lot of food in the locker room, but on the road, it’s mostly just fruit. So we have to prepare differently. But really, once you get to the gym, everything on the road is pretty much the same.

I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.

I found that part of it towards San Salvador extending from north to south five leagues, and the other side which we coasted along, ran from east to west more than ten leagues.

Fame is like caviar, you know – it’s good to have caviar but not when you have it at every meal.

I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.

It’s crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.

I hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren’t consumed by technology and television.

There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there’s only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

Did you ever notice that the first piece of luggage on the carousel never belongs to anyone?

The land created me. I’m wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I’m more at home in the vacant lots.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

I always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.

The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.

We should all start to live before we get too old.

When I’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we’re not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.

When I prepare, I am not messing around. I find the right places, the right people, and the right environment. Iceland is one of those places.

I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places.

The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.

History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.

Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.

When one travels around the world, one notices to what an extraordinary degree human nature is the same, whether in India or America, in Europe or Australia.

There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

I have to admit I’ve found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I’m pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.

Don’t run if you can walk. Don’t walk if you can stand. Don’t stand if you can sit. Don’t sit if you can lie down.

By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.

In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, ‚why don’t I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,‘ and they abandon their values.

In America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

I imagine that yes is the only living thing.

You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.

With the casino and the beds, our passengers will have at least two ways to get lucky on one of our flights.

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I’ve learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that’s what kids are playing. That’s what people are talking about.

At the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.

I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.

Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.

I think I should learn French and be a better cook – basic, really good life stuff.

The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that’s what’s happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.

I’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.
