I'm jealous of my parents. I'll never have a kid as cool as theirs.
Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

If you can't convince them, confuse them.
