I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.
Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.
Wildness is not a luxury; it is a necessity of the human spirit.
I wish I could be a poet.
Wild geese, you do not have to be good.
You do not have to be good.
And I will tell you my secret, my secret is that I am not afraid.
The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.
The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.
