George Sand

Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Admiration and familiarity are strangers.

There are two problems for our species' survival - nuclear war and environmental catastrophe - and we're hurtling towards them. Knowingly.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.
