I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

I'm doing many different things to prepare for the inevitable failure of one of them.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

It’s better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

I never practice, I always play.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.

I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.

Grief is the price we pay for love.
