Quote

For every young person I meet, I learn an idea.

The more you know of your history, the more liberated you are.

I discovered that the world frightens you with your shortcomings, but if you do not worry about it, you are liberated.

When you are young, you are a little naive.

Others indeed may talk, and write, and fight about liberty, and make an outward pretence to it; but the free-thinker alone is truly free.

I would say for the young: Don't be straight jacketed by ideology. Don't be driven by a structure of ideas.

My ideas tend to arise out of nowhere when I'm not intentionally trying to think of something.

I think a lot of young people have incredible ideas and incredible insights, but sometimes they wait before they go give their life to something. What I did was just to start a little earlier.

Don't let anyone tell you your ideas are stupid or the thing you feel most passionate about 'won't work' - it's happened to me time and time again, and we find that if you push at what you think is interesting hard enough, you're probably right.

Maturity and experience are part of my liberation.
