Do one thing every day that scares you. - Eleanor Roosevelt

"Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world."

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway."

"With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts."

"The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself."

"It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death."
