You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don't even believe in astrology.

I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime.

I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, not to anticipate the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Whatever has the nature of arising has the nature of ceasing.

“The root of suffering is attachment.”

“In separateness lies the world’s greatest misery; in compassion lies the world’s true strength.”

I'd wanted to be famous for as long as I could remember.

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.

All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?

Now I am sober and there’s only the hangover and the memory of love.

Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

My friend, the sufi is the friend of the present moment. To say tomorrow is not our way.

Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now

The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.

Darkness is only driven out with light, not more darkness.

Friendship is essentially a partnership.

Friends hold a mirror up to each other; through that mirror they can see each other in ways that would not otherwise be accessible to them, and it is this mirroring that helps them improve themselves as persons.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

Men are swayed more by fear than by reverence.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
