I try to let go of the intellect and just tell the story. I only read the page I have in front of me on the screen. Then when the whole story is told, I print it, wait a week and read it.

“I must not get ahead of myself. If I do not narrate the events of my life with rigor and harmony, I will lose my way.” 

“I stopped examining myself in the mirror to compare myself to the perfect beauties of movies and magazines; I decided I was beautiful-- for the simple reason that I wanted to be. And then never gave the matter a second thought. -Eva Luna” 

“Life has the name of life, but in reality it is death.” 

“Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.”

“What interests me in life is curiosity, challenges, the good fight with its victories and defeats.”

Sometimes I catch myself stooping, and whenever I am like that, I am sure something is not quite right.

“When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.”

Most people fail in life because they major in minor things

I would emphasize that by improving your physical machine, which includes the brain, you improve all of your performance, and the transfer is incredible to business.

The first thing I would do for anyone who’s trying to lose body fat, for instance, would be to remove foods from the house that he or she would consume during lapses of self-control.

There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

A ship should not ride on a single anchor, nor life on a single hope

Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.

“I had learned one of the bitter lessons of life: never try to regain the past, the fire will have become ashes.” 

“I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer”

“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.” 

I was the only kid who anybody I knew has ever seen actually walk into a lamppost with his eyes wide open. Everybody assumed that there must be something going on inside, because there sure as hell wasn't anything going on the outside!

I briefly did therapy, but after a while, I realised it is just like a farmer complaining about the weather. You can't fix the weather - you just have to get on with it.

“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.” 

“Psychology is the science of mental life” 

“I don’t believe in fate.”
