„Láska nemůže žádným způsobem zhřešit, tak jako oheň nemůže chladit.“
„Miluj, a potom můžeš dělat, co chceš.“
„Moje minulost je vše to, čím jsem nedokázal být.“
„Judge people not by what they are but by what they strive to become.“
„It takes half your life before you discover life is a do it yourself project.“

Širší citát:
"It’s dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.
When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No rhetoric, no tremolos,
no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.
So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.
Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered."

„Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.“
„Až jednou uvidíme Boží tvář, poznáme, že jsme ji vlastně vždycky znali.“
