Study as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow.

I am just learning to notice the different colors of the stars, and already begin to have a new enjoyment.

The thing about Paris, it's a great city for wandering around and buying shoes and nursing a cafe au lait for hours on end and pretending you're Baudelaire. But it's not a city where you can work.

I was obliged to be industrious. Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
