"Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: “I’m with you kid.

"One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." "All great achievements require time."

You’d live a gigantic, bold, fun, dazzling life. You know you would. That’s what the ghosts want us to do – all the exciting things they no longer can."― Chuck Palahniuk "I have found that if you love life, life will love you back."― Arthur Rubinstein "You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life."― Jiddu Krishnamurti
