The only lasting truth is change.

It isn't a sadness, but a joy, that we don't do the same things for the length of our lives.

A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.

Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.

You will never get any more out of life than you expect.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.
