“The meaning of life is that it stops.”

“Life isn't sure, life is scary, It doesn't mean you stop living it.”

“But if one stops believing in dreams, life loses its meaning, loses its colors.”

“Life that winter in Rome: a golden dream, and I don't mean Rafaello and the mimosa and the total freedom of life. Stop there: What I do mean is the total freedom of life and Rafaello and the mimosa and the letto matrimoniale and the Frascati when morning work was over.”

“They are so very cultivated, so very rich and so utterly charming. At the end of each day, they all ask themselves: 'Is it time I stopped?' And they all reply: 'If I did, there would be no meaning to my life.'As if they actually knew what the meaning of life was.”

“And as Dad said to me, 'You can't always stop people from being mean. But you can stop them from making you mean.”
