Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intenser quality of life.

I'm a role model for those who dare to be different. For those who dare to take a stand in their life and have an opinion.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition

I still like to live in a whimsical world that seems more romantic and fantasy-related because real life seems so hard.

I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.
