When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

When I walk in, they may like me or dislike me, but everybody knows I'm here.

When you trip over love, it is easy to get up. But when you fall in love, it is impossible to stand again.

What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.

When younger writers and poets, musicians and painters are weakened by a stemming of funds, they come to me saddened, not as full of dreams and excitement and ideas. I am then weakened and diminished, and made less rich.

When I think about myself, I almost laugh myself to death, My life has been one great big joke, A dance that’s walked, A song that’s spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke, When I think about myself. Sixty.

Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.
