To the extent that I had come to understand that despair does not necessarily result in annihilation, that one can go on as usual in spite of it, I had become hardened. Was this what it means to be an adult, to live with ugly ambiguities? I didn’t like it, but it made it easier to go on (At One Quotes)
I don’t know where my ideas come from. I will admit, however, that one key ingredient is caffeine. I get a couple cups of coffee into me and weird things just start to happen (At One Quotes)

I am conscious that knowing me has caused you pain, and grief, and I hope that one day when you are less angry with me and less upset you will see not just that I could only have done the thing that I did, but also that this will help you live a really good life, a better life, than if you hadn’t met me (At One Quotes)
I can never understand why I should eat at one or sleep at eleven, if it is, as it often is, my one and my eleven and nobody else’s. For, as between the clock and me alone, one and eleven and all other o’clocks are mine and I am not theirs. But I have known men and women living in hotels who would interrupt a sunset to go to dine, or wave away the stars in their courses to go to sleep, merely because the hour had struck (At One Quotes)
Our society is so caught up in winning, we forget that most of the great men and women in history have, at one time or another, failed at something. Often repeatedly, and discouragingly. But each failure is nothing more than a brick in the wall that forms the foundation of our success. We can’t forget that (At One Quotes)
We frail humans are at one time capable of the greatest good and, at the same time, capable of the greatest evil. Change will only come about when each of us takes up the daily struggle ourselves to be more forgiving, compassionate, loving, and above all joyful in the knowledge that, by some miracle of grace, we can change as those around us can change too (At One Quotes)
I think of the need for more wisdom in the world, to deal with the knowledge that we have. At one time we had wisdom, but little knowledge. Now we have a great deal of knowledge, but do we have enough wisdom to deal with that knowledge? (At One Quotes)
One of the things I like about my profession, and that I find healthy, is that one constantly has to break oneself to pieces (At One Quotes)
What does this compassion entail?... It means understanding one’s connection to the whole of creation: understanding that one is part of that creation, that there is a unity that underlies all that we see, all that we hear, all that we feel (At One Quotes)
When the playing is over, one can sense that one’s youth has been spent playing a game, and now both the game and youth are gone (At One Quotes)
The true meaning of the precepts is not just that one should refrain from drinking alcohol, but also from getting drunk on nirvana (At One Quotes)
Today’s religion will be the future’s mythology. Both believed at one time by many; but proved wrong by the clever (At One Quotes)
We will be misguided in our intentions if we point at one single thing and say that it will prevent war, unless, of course, that thing happens to be the will, the determination, and the resolve of people everywhere that nations will never again clash on the battlefield (At One Quotes)
It is said that one should not hesitate to correct himself when he has made a mistake. If he corrects himself without the least bit of delay, his mistakes will disappear (At One Quotes)
What’s the difference between you and the man sitting beside you? It’s one percent. In my business, only one percent makes it. If everyone had the same dream, only 1 will make it from this crowd. Who will be that one? (At One Quotes)
Beauty is the adjustment of all parts proportionately so that one cannot add or subtract or change without impairing the harmony of the whole (At One Quotes)
The nicest thing about coaching is that one day you feel like you can play handball against a curb, and on other days you feel like you can fly to the moon (At One Quotes)
I do believe that one way to bring cultures together, to develop trust between people and countries and religions, is through education. And through music and art and basketball and activities and joys that people share worldwide, regardless of ethnic background or religious orientation (At One Quotes)
Is it adultery if I’m committing it at one end of a guy and he’s committing it at the other end of that same guy? (At One Quotes)
To be reminded that one is very much like other members of the animal kingdom is often funny... though... I do not too much mind being somewhat like a cat (At One Quotes)
One has to believe in what one is doing, one has to commit oneself inwardly, in order to do painting. Once obsessed, one ultimately carries it to the point of believing that one might change human beings through painting. But if one lacks this passionate commitment, there is nothing left to do. Then it is best to leave it alone (At One Quotes)
The qualities that one needs to be a good goalkeeper are exactly the same as to be a good sculptor. In both professions one should have a good relationship with time and space (At One Quotes)
Truth and falsity, indeed understanding, is not necessarily something purely intellectual, remote from feelings and attitudes... It is in the total conduct of men rather than in their statements that truth or falsehood lives, more in what a man does, in his real reaction to other men and to things, in his will to do them justice, to live at one with them. Here lies the inner connection between truth and justice. In the realm of behavior and action, the problem recurs as to the difference between piece and part (At One Quotes)
The essential thing about mothers is that one needs to know that they are there, particularly at that age when, paradoxically, one is trying so hard to break away from parental influence (At One Quotes)
There is nothing like the camaraderie that one has with fellow drinkers. It is a club you never leave once you join. Well, willingly or easily (At One Quotes)
