The worst enemy to creativity is self doubt.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses, and disappointments.

There are things that are not sayable. That's why we have art.

We are all born worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of success.

Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too.

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

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

There are times when dreams sustain us more than facts.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.
