"Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life. Work's important, family's important, but without excitement, you have nothing. You're cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what's coming."
"When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence."
"Dreams are always crushing when they don't come true. But it's the simple dreams that are often the most painful because they seem so personal, so reasonable, so attainable. You're always close enough to touch, but never quite close enough to hold and it's enough to break your heart."
"I don't pray because it doesn't work. Prayer doesn't fix anything. Bad things happen anyway."
