I think I'm rather young and sprightly, but then you see pictures of yourself and think, 'Who is that old man?' and I realise I'm not as young as I thought I was.

Making an effort is polite, and getting ready and looking after yourself makes an event more fun.

Whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Hard is trying to rebuild yourself, piece by piece, with no instruction book, and no clue as to where all the important bits are supposed to go.

The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.

"Our true passions are selfish."

Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.

You don't want to love - your eternal and abnormal craving is to be loved. You aren't positive, you're negative. You absorb, absorb, as if you must fill yourself up with love, because you've got a shortage somewhere.

How long you can continue to be good at something is how much you believe in yourself and how much hard work you do with the training.

It's got to do with putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.

Mrs LINDE: When you've sold yourself once for the sake of others, you don't do it second time.

“You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence” 

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Art, after all, is a means of acquiring “personal” liberty. Your way is not my way nor mine yours.

There is no such thing as defeat until you admit so yourself, but not until then!

Empty yourself! Open up! After all, the usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

“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” 

“You only have what you give. It’s by spending yourself that you become rich.” 

“You can't find someone who doesn't want to be found.” 

“You are what you believe yourself to be.”

If you don’t care about yourself, make it about other people.

Thinking is mostly just asking yourself questions and answering them.
