"The dead are the only ones who truly know us."
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.
To know this world is to love it, and to love it is to grieve for it.
I don't write to explain. I write to explore.
The function of freedom is to free someone else.
We've learned that change is necessary for growth.
The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
The more you know yourself, the more you realize how powerful you are.
The more you know who you are, the less you let things upset you.
The more you know yourself, the more patience you have for what you see in others.
So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.
