What counts is not the things that happen, but what we do with them.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

I am all the things I have ever loved.

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

You don't meet the people you love, you recognize them.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

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

Only love can heal the wounds of the past.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

The world belongs to the enthusiast who keeps cool.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us.
