An idea isn't responsible for the people who believe in it.

Without this playing with fantasy 

no creative work has ever yet come to birth. 

The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.

The possibilities are numerous 

once we decide to act 

and not react.

Judgement comes from experience, 

and experience comes from bad judgement.

There are no passengers on spaceship earth. 

We are all crew.

Free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves.

There are many sham diamonds in this life which pass for real, 

and vice versa.

The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.

If I don't create, I don't exist.

Like people, trees are all individuals.

I often feel that life is about to begin, 

only to realise it is almost over.

Life is simply the reification of the process of living.

Since the day of my birth, 

my death began its walk. 

It is walking toward me, 

without hurrying.

Within us there is someone who 

knows everything, 

wills everything, 

does everything 

better than we ourselves.

Every historian discloses a new horizon.

Perfection is achieved, 

not when there is nothing more to add, 

but when there is nothing left to take away.
