““Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way.

Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.””

“When you’re thinking about the rest of your life, you’re never really thinking more than a couple years down the road.”

“Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.”

“Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don’t always like.”
