Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

We must believe that we are gifted for something.

The first time you do something only happens once.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress.

There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.

Exuberance is beauty.

Change — real change — comes from the inside out.

Not all those who wander are lost.

There are years that ask questions and years that answer.

In all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.
