Travel has always been one of the best ways to make new memories and reconnect with your loved ones.

My son told me to stop singing 'Happy Birthday' when he was 4.

I hear you younger people saying how many friends they have on the Internet. That's nonsense. That's not friends, that's acquaintances. The word 'friendship' has lost its significance.

A friendship has to be cultivated. A friendship you have to give time.

I don't believe in honesty at all costs.

We just do not know what is normal.

Enjoying art is a personal matter. It's made up by contemplation, silence, abstraction.

I can write best in the silence and solitude of the night, when everyone has retired.

First and foremost, the monk should own nothing in this world, but he should have as his possessions solitude of the body, modesty of bearing, a modulated tone of voice, and a well-ordered manner of speech. He should be without anxiety as to his food and drink, and should eat in silence.

The schools would fail through their silence, the Church through its forgiveness, and the home through the denial and silence of the parents. The new generation has to hear what the older generation refuses to tell it.

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
