Nothing is inherently and invincibly young except spirit.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.

Compassion is one of the purest springs of love.

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

Change — real change — comes from the inside out.

You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got?

The struggle, like life itself, should be joyful.

Vulnerability is important. You can’t let your skin get too thick.

I am all the things I have ever loved.
