“The most important thing I gained from my travels was the knowledge that one could achieve anything with determination and an ounce of luck.”

“One might suppose that reality must be held to at all costs. However, though that may be the moral thing to do, it is not necessarily the most useful thing to do. The Greeks themselves chose the ideal over the real in their geometry and demonstrated very well that far more could be achieved by consideration of abstract line and form than by a study of the real lines and forms of the world; the greater understanding achieved through abstraction could be applied most usefully to the very reality that was ignored in the process of gaining knowledge.”

“I have a message for my fans. Whatever you want to do in this world, it is achievable. The most important thing that I've found, that perhaps you could use, is be passionate and enthusiastic in the direction that you choose in life, and you'll be a winner.”

“Perhaps I may gain more knowledge out of the folly of this madman than I shall from the teaching of the most wise.”

“The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.”

“One thing that I love about traveling is feeling disoriented and removed from my comfort zone.”
