Even the truth pauses if you ask it for the time; a woman who is smarter than you still likes it when you smile at her; every elevator stops on more than one floor; a kiss doesn’t always settle an argument but it still feels good; if you take the time to complain about frivolous things then you already are its intended victim; there’s not a woman alive who can prepare you for the next one; you will always be unsatisfied if you take yourself too seriously; if you can paint something that you’ve never seen then you have an imagination; if you can paint something that would unnerve your mother then you are free; there is nothing you should ask of someone if you excuse yourself from the same rules; a grown-up desires the same things but knows too much about tomorrow; if you think it is too late to discover your true gift then you are wrong; to live life waiting for bad news is no way to live; to see that others live the same way is to know that you are not alone; there is someone out there for you but if you keep your heart to yourself then he will walk past you like a stranger on the corner; no matter how creative you are someone can do it better; if your ego exceeds your capabilities then you will live a life of delusion; the best way to become empathetic is to become obsessed with describing the feelings of others; a true artist is always waiting for the next creation no matter how great the last one was; the impatience of the imagination is unleashed once you recognize that it exists; there's always one more love in your life but you have to give them the chance you swore you would never do again; the day you decide to justify yourself instead of challenging your beliefs is the day you stop learning; there are three ways to change, a painful mistake, hearing the truth from your best friend or comparing yourself to somone great but without the desire to change you will remain as you were when the truth tells you that time is no longer its concern; whatever is lodged in your mind causes disbelief in something, but have you built the wall in the right place?
