A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

I have an existential map. It has ‚You are here‘ written all over it.

Few of us have vitality enough to make any of our instincts imperious.

If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.

Compared to what we ought to be, we are half awake.

Never marry someone in hope that they’ll change later.

I’ve watched a lot of people who became famous who completely change and I think it’s because they tend to believe all the hype that’s out there. I don’t think there’s that much hype about me.

I even found it difficult to watch myself playing on TV because I couldn’t identify with the person on the screen. I couldn’t get to grips with it. It was as if it was all happening to someone else.

I like the way the stories of my relationships sound to music more than the way they look in print, in gossip columns or in me talking about them in interviews. I think it’s a better way of telling the stories.

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

Lettin‘ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier ‚n puttin‘ it back in.

I’m the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren’t no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn’t know about them.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Never speak to an invalid from behind, nor from the door, nor from any distance from him, nor when he is doing anything. The official politeness of servants in these things is so grateful to invalids, that many prefer, without knowing why, having none but servants about them.

An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.

As long as you blame someone or something else – something outside you that’s bigger than you are – as the source of your problems, the problems won’t get solved.

I like working. That’s when I’m feeling my best. And the people around me know that. My wife knows that.

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

I wanted to be a doctor that I might be able to work without having to talk because for years I had been giving myself out in words.

I think we basically saw that the messaging space is bigger than we’d initially realized, and that the use cases that WhatsApp and Messenger have are more different than we had thought originally.

When you really don’t like a guy, they’re all over you, and as soon as you act like you like them, they’re no longer interested.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.

When people are lame, they love to blame.

Any fact that needs to be disclosed should be put out now or as quickly as possible, because otherwise the bleeding will not end.

A mother defends herself with a heart filled with love before doing so with words. I wonder whether there is any love for the church in the hearts of those who pay so much attention to the scandals.

When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.

The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life.

Twitter is great to connect with fans and be transparent. I enjoy that aspect about it. But really, I’m still trying to figure it out.

I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.

A person hears only what they understand.

There are few things more dreadful than dealing with a man who knows he is going under, in his own eyes, and in the eyes of others. Nothing can help that man. What is left of that man flees from what is left of human attention.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

When people are connected, we can just do some great things. They have the opportunity to get access to jobs, education, health, communications. We have the opportunity to bring the people we care about closer to us. It really makes a big difference.

I’m really bad with answering questions. Usually, I don’t even answer them. I try to find inspiration inside of the question. I think, and I jump from one beam of inspiration or energy to the next, as opposed to explaining the energy.

Our greatest evils flow from ourselves.

We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.

You must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.

Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together.

It’s very hard to live with yourself if you don’t stick with your moral code.

If the tongue had not been framed for articulation, man would still be a beast in the forest.

It’s a very strange thing being recognized or looked upon as someone special.

These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile.

Listen to many, speak to a few.

When you have to make a choice and don’t make it, that is in itself a choice.

When I look at public opinion, I’m not far out of the mainstream. I’m in it, in many respects. In some respects, public opinion goes beyond anything I’ve ever said.

It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

Sometimes it’s a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone’s eyes.

If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

Talking with a friend is nothing else but thinking aloud.

There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.

I’ve always wanted male friends that I could be real intimate with and talk about important things with and be as affectionate with that person as I would be with a girl.

My only fault is that I don’t realize how great I really am.

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.

The one thing that I keep learning over and over again is that I don’t know nothing. I mean, that’s my life lesson.

Before I look stupid and not know what a word means or how to pronounce it, I’ll stop the whole production: ‚Hey, real quick, guys. Define this word for me. Somebody.‘

It is hard sometimes to always be at the centre of attention, but when you talk about me you also have to talk about the climate.

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.
