“Don't drink to get drunk. Drink to enjoy life.”

“I am apparently gentle, unstable, and full of pretenses.Â I will die a poet killed by the nonpoets, will renounce no dream, resign myself to no ugliness, accept nothing of the world but the one I made myself.Â I wrote, lived, loved like Don Quixote, and on the day of my death I will say: â€˜Excuse me, it was all a dream,â€™ and by that time I may have found one who will say: â€˜Not at all, it was true, absolutely true.â€™”
“It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.”
“I'm always happy," Sasha said. "Sometimes I just forget.”
