"I think that ethical behaviour is another..." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“I hold the view that death is rather like changing one's clothes when they are torn and old. It is not an end in itself. Yet death is unpredictable-you do not know when and howT it will take place.”

“Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, 'I am of no value', is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought — so what are you lacking? If you have will-power , then you can do anything. It is usually said that you are your own master.”

“It seems that for some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, you first of all have to have a wish to be happy yourself - if you don't love yourself like that, how can you love others?”

“Sir, are you trying to offer me a bribe? How much”

“In art the end does not sanctify the means: but sacred means employed here can sanctify the end.”

“I do my very best to avoid shark fin.”

“You can't break a bad habit by throwing it out the window. You've got to walk it slowly down the stairs.”

“Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.”

“I'm just writing, writing, writing. I keep these tablets on me until I'm inspired to go back in and make the music. I never take a break from my pen, because I pride myself on that.”
