“There are so many other wonderful things that eyes could see if they really focused. Life's kind of like a painting. A rally bizarre abstract painting. You could look at it and think that all it is is a blur. And you can continue living your life thinking that all it is is a blur. But if you really look at it, really see it, focus on it, and use your imagination, life can become so much more. That painting could be of the sea, the sky, people, buildings, a butterfly on a flower or anything except the blur you were once convinced it was.”

“...children learn much more, far more quickly than adults. Do you know why that is? Because they're open-minded. Because they want to know and they want to learn. Adults, think they know it all. They grow up and forget so easily and instead of opening their minds and developing it they choose what to believe and what not to believe. You can't make a choice on things like that: you either believe or you don't. That's why their learning is slower. They are more cynical, they lose faith and they demend to know things that will help them get by day by day. They've no interest in the extras...It's the extras that make life.”

“The more you try to simplify things the more you complicate them. You create rules, build walls, push people away, lie to yourself and ignore true feelings. That is not simplifying things.”

“Znaš zanimljivo je da djeca uče mnogo više i mnogo brže od odraslih. Znaš li zašto je tako? Zato jer su otvorenog uma. Zato jer žele znati i žele naučiti. Odrasli misle da sve znaju. Odrastu i lako zaborave da umjesto da otvore um i razviju ga, oni odluče u što će vjerovati, a u što ne. Ne možeš donijeti odluku o takvim stvarima - ili vjeruješ ili ne. Oni su cinični, gube vjeru i žele znati samo one stvari koje će im pomagati iz dana u dan. Ne zanimaju ih male stvari. Ali, male stvari čine život.”
