"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn't work like I thought it did. We are so used to thinking of it as a camera or a tape recorder, but it's not like that at all. It's more like a painter. It creates a picture, but it's not always the same picture."

Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

Every story is a journey, and every journey changes the traveler.

The most common form of despair is not being who you are.

To love is to risk everything, but to not love is to risk even more.
