My father was a soldier and my mother was a great mover. She once counted up how many places she had lived in during the first 25 years of her marriage and it came to 20.

My marriage had been impulsive. That marriage should have been short-lived instead of the 23 years it spanned.

Life is lived on the edge.

The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.

A life lived with integrity - even if it lacks the trappings of fame and fortune is a shining star in whose light others may follow in the years to come.

The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about nor read about nor seen but if one will are to be lived.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

I haven't lived a perfect life. I have regrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances making decisions and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my regrets is understand them.

Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you for Paris is a moveable feast.
