“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love … then make that day count!”

“When you look deeply into yourself you may be able to see that there is, in this moment, a quality of aliveness that is animating you that is not philosophical and is not abstract. It's independent of what you think about it, what you believe about it and what you feel about it. It's always there! it is animating your breath, It is coursing the spirit, it is what makes it possible for you to think and speak and see and hear.”

“Don't think that life no longer holds anything beautiful for you: face the problems and enjoy the moments, focusing your attention exclusively on what makes you feel alive.”

“You think when you wake up in the mornin yesterday dont count. But yesterday is all that does count. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it's made out of. Nothin else.”

“What a thrill, what a shock, to be alive on a morning in June, prosperous, almost scandalously privileged, with a simple errand to run.”

“What will you think of pleasures when you no longer enjoy them?”

“It’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.”

“I think i'm just breathing, that's all. And there's a difference between breathing and being alive.”

“Love - true love - is a precious thing. It is painful, uncomfortable, makes fools of us all, but it is what breathes meaning and color and purpose into our lives.”

“Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too.”
