“Education is a great shield against experience. It offers so much, ready-made and all from the best shops, that there's a temptation to miss your own life in pursuing the life of your betters.”

“I've tried to shield myself from life and inhabit my own small, safe corner; but there's no immunity from life.”

“We’re so caught up in trying to do everything, experience all the essential things, not miss out on anything important...We can’t read all the good books, watch all the good films, go to all the best cities in the world, try all the best restaurants, meet all the great people...Life is better when we don’t try to do everything. Learn to enjoy the slice of life you experience, and life turns out to be wonderful.”

“The thing about living with a death sentence for so long is you tend to miss the moment life starts to get better because you're so ready for it to get much, much worse.”

“To dream the future is much more better than to regret the past.But the best of all, to live in the present life with all of your power.”

“Pursue knowledge as though it is your life-blood, then you will know greatness!”
