Optimism is a happiness magnet.

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

It's more difficult to be simple, and it's easier to be more complicated.

The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

Love comes… when you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.

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

Act as if someone just said there’s no reason to be afraid.

Love... is the honoring of others in a way that grants them the grace of their own autonomy.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

I would rather walk with a friend in the dark than walk alone in the light.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

Resilience — the ability to brush off pain.
