I am my mind
« Find first peace within yourself. Don't eat too much. Keep your brain active. Love. »
« Above all, don't fear difficult moments. The best comes from them. »
« I tell young people: Do not think of yourself, think of others. Think of the future that awaits you, think about what you can do and do not fear anything. »
« Progress depends on our brain. The most important part of our brain, that which is neocortical, must be used to help others and not just to make discoveries. »
« It's not enough what I did in the past - there is also the future. »
« At 100, I have a mind that is superior - thanks to experience - than when I was 20. »
« If I die tomorrow or in a year, it is the same - it is the message you leave behind you that counts. »
« The body does whatever it wants. I am not my body; I am my mind. »
