“Live Daringly! Give Boldly! Leave Love Everywhere You've Been!”

“The problem, as I see it, is that you've been told and not told. You've been told, but none of you really understand, and I dare say, some people are quite happy to leave it that way.”

“The underlying assumption that human nature is basically the same at all times, everywhere, and obeys eternal laws beyond human control, is a conception that only a handful of bold thinkers have dared to question.”

“If you've lived a bad life, they send you to Hell. But if you've been truly wicked, they give you a tour ofHeaven first...”

“It's a good thing to read a lot. It's a good thing to write a lot. The best thing to do is to live a lot. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Make a fool of yourself. Watch other people make fools of themselves. Believe something stupid and then realize you've been tricked. Feel embarrassed. Be brave and bold. Then be cowardly and pathetic. Give a damn about the world outside yourself. Have some very dark nights. It's all good. You'll use all of it.”

“The glow of delicioous tension coudn't be faked, not at any price. So when you leave, that's when you realise you've been living in a lie.”
