"Sometimes it's good to contrast what you like with something else. It makes you appreciate it even more."

"All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under the flesh."

"You can't ever be really free if you admire somebody too much."

"The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving."
