When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week, then there's either something wrong with your skills or something wrong with your world. And there's nothing wrong with my skills.
The reading eye must do the work to make them live, and so it did, again and again, never the same life twice, as the artist had intended.
History is a great deal closer to poetry than is generally realised: in truth, I think, it is in essence the same.
Discipline comes from the same root word as disciple, and implies patience and teaching on our part. It should not be done in anger.
All pain is the same. Only the details are different.
Just by being ourselves we are borne toward a destiny far beyond anything we could imagine. It is enough to know that the being I nourish inside me is the same as the Being that suffuses every atom of the cosmos.
The reality is that whatever you are looking for is, at the same time, looking for you. It all starts with believing before seeing.
At some moments, you feel attracted to someone of the same sex, even if it's not sexual. You just want to be like him.
Difficult is a far cry from impossible. The distance between these two lies hope. Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Invite one to stay.

When we successfully deceive others, they are not aware of it; the same is true with self-deception.
If life is a game, then the people who play in center with their own style only make the real name; but for others the aim is just the same for they do anything from comment, copy, criticize, cover or cheer by being anywhere.
Art in relation to life is nothing more than a glove turned inside out. It seems to have the same shapes and contours, but it can never be used for the same purpose. Art teaches nothing about life, just as life teaches us nothing about art.
