I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don't find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more.
Many of the familiar little things that we use every day have typically evolved over a period of time to a state of familiarity. They balance form and function, elegance and economy, success and failure in ways that are not only acceptable, but also admirable.
We grow a little every time we do not take advantage of somebody's weakness.
We provoke a shark every time we enter the water where sharks happen to be, for we forget: The ocean is not our territory — it's theirs.
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I've been challenged by so many people, and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesn't have time either.
A bad system will beat a good person every time.
France has lived a long time — eight or nine centuries — and yet art in France, too, was derivative up until the 19th Century.
You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.
Evening is a time of real experimentation. You never want to look the same way.
It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Having a baby on my own is a dream come true, but in my world, there's no sheepish spouse on his way home from a work trip to offer me a stretch of alone time.
Sometimes comparing can be a good thing: it can inspire us to work harder and reach farther. But for the most part, excessive measuring yourself up against others — especially when it becomes a way to put yourself down — is a colossal waste of time. It's a dead end. It won't make you do anything except feel horrible.
Love has its own time, its own season, and its own reasons from coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.
Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.
In high school, I had a really difficult time just loving myself. It's weird; I feel like in the world we live in today, you're not supposed to be like, 'I'm beautiful', like that's a conceited thing to say.
The human dilemma is that which arises out of a man's capacity to experience himself as both subject and object at the same time.
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
