Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it needs is courage, imagination ... and a little dough.

Let us strive for the impossible. The great achievements throughout history have been the conquest of what seemed the impossible.

Perfect love is the most beautiful of all frustrations because it is more than one can express.

A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.

Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.

I feel I am privileged to express a hope. The hope is this: that we shall have peace throughout the world, that we shall abolish wars and settle all international differences at the conference table, that we shall abolish all atom and hydrogen bombs before they abolish us. The future of the modern world demands modern thinking. Therefore, let us use the full force of our intelligence instead of obsolete homicidal methods in settling our international differences.

If you're really truthful with yourself, it's a wonderful guidance.

The deeper the truth in a creative work, the longer it will live.

What a sad business, being funny.

We must laugh in the face of our helplessness against the forces of nature - or go insane.

Time is the great author. Always writes the perfect ending.

Simplicity of approach is always best.

One murder makes a villain, millions a hero. Numbers sanctify.

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with man.

The world is not composed of heroes and villains, but of men and women with all the passions that God has given them. The ignorant condemn, but the wise pity.

Whomever lives, gambles with life.

Machinery should be a blessing to mankind and not a curse.

All artists experience a lull in their work. It is a period of replenishing the soil - of plowing in and turning under our past experiences and watering them afresh with new ones.

Over the years I have discovered that ideas come through an intense desire for them; continually desiring, the mind becomes a watch-tower on the lookout for incidents that may excite the imagination - music, a sunset, may give image to an idea.
