Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

Aging is an extraordinary process whereby you become the person that you always should have been.

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

Vulnerability is important. You can’t let your skin get too thick.

Happiness is not made by what we own. It is what we share.

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.

At the end of the day, you are enough exactly as you are.
