"The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases."
"Don't look for meaning in life. It was meant to be lived not understood."
"Life is neither a glorious highlight reel nor a monstrous tragedy. Every day is a good day to live and a good day to die. Every day is also an apt time to learn and express joy and love for the entire natural world. Each day is an apt time to make contact with other people and express empathy for the entire world. Each day is perfect to accept with indifference all aspects of being."
"When all this started, I asked myself, 'Am I going to withdraw from the world, like most people do, or am I going to live?'I decided I'm going to live---or at least try to live---the way I want, with dignity, with courage, with humor, with composure."
"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."
"All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible."
"Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift."

"The moment seemed right to me for a full and, if possible, authoritative portrait of the life and character of the Prince of Wales."
"The BBC has the obligation to think big. And at the moment, that clarion call sounds an uncertain note to me."
"Programme names have been changed, and we have Andrew Neil saying he won't be using long words."
"I had no expectation that the Prince would offer me the unprecedented and unfettered access to the original and entirely untapped sources on which this biography is based."
"The challenge is the culture. You have to have a vision for the BBC-it can't merely be that it's big and has a place in the market."
