“Whatever you make, base it upon that which is most important to you. Only then will it have depth and meaning, and only then will it resonate with others.”

“Remember that there is only one important time and it is Now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion. The most important person is always the person with whom you are, who is right before you, for who knows if you will have dealings with any other person in the future? The most important pursuit is making that person, the one standing at your side, happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life.”

“You have to accept whatever comes, and the only important thing is that you meet it with the best you have to give.”

“The most important thing you can ever know, is that whatever your purpose is, that's not your only choice.”

“True art was based upon despair, and the important thing was to make yourself and those around you as miserable as possible.”

“You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or ignorance can't lead to a good conclusion.”
