  • The needs of the times will teach you what to do.

  • Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.

  • Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure the bite

  • Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.

  • No matter how strong a condom is, it won't protect you from a broken heart.

  • Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies, But keep your fancy free.
