"In the eyes of those we love, we see who we could become."

"The most profound truths are those we cannot speak, only feel."

"The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of."

"I love the beautiful desperately."

"One must still have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star."

"Art is the effort to convey the untranslatable."

"The greatest thing one can do with one's life is to live it."

"Wisdom is not in words; wisdom is in understanding."
