Only poetry can address grief.
In the land of genius, the sun always shines; in the land of clever, there are many clouds!
There is a hidden message in every waterfall. It says, if you are flexible, falling will not hurt you!
If you think life is a smooth sea, you will soon be awakened from this sweet dream by the slap of a bitter wave!
An ordinary visit to a beautiful garden always creates an extraordinary time!
As long as your curiosity is greater than your fear, you will move forward!
When you are alone, bless the solitude; when you are with someone, bless the togetherness! Think of the seagull: It flies alone happily; it flies with another happily too! Solitude is a food; togetherness is a food; man needs both and he must be happy with both!
It's hard for me to play seated theaters because people tend to sit down and get a little bit complacent, so it's less energy. It's just very dry and dead. People start to feel like they're watching a movie. The environment when they walk into it, it's not standing room only, smoking and drinking and rock 'n' roll. So it's a little bit dangerous to do that.
He thought of the jungle, already regrowing around him to cover the scars they had created. He thought of the tiger, killing to eat. Was that evil? And ants? They killed. No, the jungle wasn’t evil. It was indifferent. So, too, was the world. Evil, then, must be the negation of something man had added to the world. Ultimately, it was caring about something that made the world liable to evil. Caring. And then the caring gets torn asunder. Everybody dies, but not everybody cares.
There is one thing that I feel I still have to do and that is gain revenge over Lennox Lewis. If Lewis came back I would find the motivation to return to boxing and beat him.
I didn't have a home in the world, so I wanted a home in a person. I felt like I had found that, and then it was taken away from me.
