“So come to the pond,
or the river of your imagination,
or the harbor of your longing,

and put your lips to the world.

And live
your life.”

“Live out of your imagination, not your history.”

“Oh my love, oh my love, I've cried for you so much,
Lonely nights without sleeping, while I longed for your touch.
Now your lips can't evade the heartache I've known,
Come with me to a world of our own.”

“You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.”

“Put down your hollow tips,
And kiss your lover's lips,
And know that fate is what we make of it.”

“Live out of your imagination instead of out of your memory.”

“You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.”

“What's crazy is living your life according to some book written by someone who couldn't imagine what your life would be like.”

“In the midst of mirth, reflect that many of your fellow creatures round the world are expiring; and that your turn will come shortly. So will you keep your life uniform and free from excess.”

“Leave the world and live your life.”
