"You can't be unhappy when you are holding a cup of tea."

"I am not good at noticing when I'm happy, except in retrospect."

"Never regret anything that makes you smile."

"To wish was to hope, and to hope was to expect."

"I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel."

"The most important thing is growing old gracefully."
