The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away." "Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed." "People live longer today than they ever have. They live happier lives, have more knowledge, more information. All this is the result of communications technology. How is any of that bad?"

Dodds "So to get back to being intimidated, yes, you get intimidated when you’re on the runway with Naomi Campbell, who is the best runway model in the world."― Heidi Klum "We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty."― Jonathan Sacks
