I got a lot of paradoxes in my life. I guess I'm a real confused person, but there are some focused parts to my life now, and I'm slowly trying to put all the pieces back together.

The paradox is, I can't miss the good things about my father while he is alive, but I will of course miss him... when he is dead.

Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make them when one reflects; and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices.

How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.

For me, travel happens when I see an interesting opportunity happening.

All people are paradoxical. No one is easily reducible, so I like characters who have contradictory impulses or shades of ambiguity. It's fun, and it's fun because it's hard.

I'm a real paradox. Because I'm a very serious person, and I take my work very seriously. But I wrap it up in a court jester and a clown and make people laugh and make them feel good about themselves.

I like intellectual journeys.

People who express themselves in paradoxes are in a strong position; and the more outrageous the paradox, in general the stronger the position.

It might seem paradoxical given my profession, but I'm not someone who likes to be in the limelight.
