“A lot of my generation are living out the un-lived lives of our mothers.”

“No man can call himself liberal, or radical, or even a conservative advocate of fair play, if his work depends in any way on the unpaid or underpaid labor of women at home, or in the office.” 

“If you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them. If you hope people will change how they live, you have to know how they live. If you want people to see you, you have to sit down with them eye-to-eye.” 

“The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us” 

“Each others' lives are our best textbooks.” 

Playing live is everything. Sometimes being on the road is hard, and it's a lot of work, and tiring. From a musical point of view, you improve all the time. Not only that, but you learn how to deal with people and deal with energy in a live setting.

“Any one who wants to live in peace and freedom will be to live by toil, demonstration of high levels of discipline and tolerance for one another.”

“It’s said that the biggest determinant of our lives is whether we see the world as welcoming or hostile. Each becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

“The road is messy in the way that real life is messy. It leads us out of denial and into reality, out of theory and into practice, out of caution and into action, out of statistics and into stories—in short, out of our heads and into our hearts.” 

“A lot of my generation are living out the un-lived lives of our mothers.”

“The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us”

"My life didn’t please me, so I created my life."

You live but once; you might as well be amusing.”

“The best things in life are free. The second-best are very expensive.”

I am not young but I feel young. The day I feel old, I will go to bed and stay there. J'aime la vie! I feel that to live is a wonderful thing.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
