Words worth keeping

When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.

Sleep is good, he said, and books are better.

Where there is love there is life.

You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.

May you live every day of your life.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
