The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishment.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.

The voice is an instrument that is very close to the soul.

Believe in yourself even when no one else does.

Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.
