"You think of yourselfas a citizen of the universe.You think you belong to this world of dust and matter.Out of this dustyou have created a personal image,and have forgottenabout the essence of your true origin"

"The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed.

"Sometimes, as we're stumbling along in the dark, we hit something good."

"Be unique! Be yourself!"

"Even strength must bow to wisdom sometimes."

"Fake it 'till you make it."

"And so I wait. I wait for time to heal the pain and raise me to me feet once again - so that I can start a new path, my own path, the one that will make me whole again."

". . . when it comes down to it, that’s what life is all about: showing up for the people you love, again and again, until you can’t show up anymore."

"Sometimes I wish life was written pencil so we could erase it and write it all over again."

"There are three lessons I would write-Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,Upon the heart of men.Have hope! though clouds environ round,And gladness hides her face in scorn,Put thou the shadow from thy brow,No night but hath its morn.Have love! not love alone for one, But man as man thy brother call,And scatter like the circling sun,Thy charities on all."
