My dark days made me strong. Or maybe I already was strong, and they made me prove it.

Your passions should fit you exactly but your purpose in life should exceed you.

If you hit a wrong note, it’s the next note that you play that determines if it’s good or bad.

Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures.

There’s a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it.

Sometimes you simply needed someone kind to sit with you while you dealt with things.

Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

You can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time — of anything.

In art as in love, instinct is enough.
