I paint things as they are. I don't comment.

Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it.

I have tried to do what is true and not ideal.

Of course one should not drink much, but often.

I paint things as they are. I don't comment.

I have always been a pencil.

My dear Mama, you are definitely the hen who hatched a famous duck.

Never be tempted by water. The water tap should be sealed at lunchtime. If, for example, a sauce goes wrong, adding water doesn't help at all; one only achieves a taste of dishwater.

Philandering impedes, as everyone knows, the ability to concentrate.

The body of a beautiful woman is not made for love; it is too exquisite.

The cafes bore me; going downstairs is a nuisance. Painting and sleeping - that's all there is.

The harmony of the luncheon is achieved by a combination of the two main courses which are the focus of the menu.

Sometimes I think what I write is funny in its quiet way.

Those who lift trophies of success are those who do what they do without stretching their necks to see “who else is doing what?

Many researchers have joined the field and applied the LED to many new markets such as mobile phone screens, LED TV, and LED Lighting.

It's all about confidence and how you feel about yourself. There's no such thing as a perfect woman. I like imperfections - that's what makes you unique.

I've seen a lot of people buy my books and then fall asleep on the plane soon afterwards.

No matter what you do, people are gonna try to emulate you. Whether it's a dunk by Michael Jordan or a swing by Ken Griffey Jr., kids are doing the same things.

For me, human rights simply endorse a view of life and a set of moral values that are perfectly clear to an eight-year-old child. A child knows what is fair and isn't fair, and justice derives from that knowledge.

Depression is frustrating. Its knowing theres so much to be grateful for and happy about and to enjoy but you just cant get there.

I try to live my life every day in the present, and try not to turn a blind eye to injustice and need.

It's a fun thing to do: Go to a shooting range with a buddy, knock off a few rounds, release stress.

All that's left now is purely poetic work, putting more life into individual places, as I've made so sure of the fundamental mood and dimension of expression that it won't leave me groping around in uncertainty any more.

Remember, 'governance' is a big word that includes human rights, freedom of speech, economic transactions on a worldwide basis - it touches everything. It's everywhere, and that's why Internet governance is Topic A in many corners.

I respect the office of the presidency, but I never worship at the shrines of our public servants... The Washington press corps has the privilege of asking the president of the United States what he is doing and why.

Very few things happen at the right time, and the rest do not happen at all. The conscientious historian will correct these defects.
