Beware of those who would try to talk you into believing that you are incapable of sailing the ship of your dream.

The barren branches may appear inelegant: They are, to the cook, the means to make his fire.

But sometimes, things are better to just hear. Some questions better left unasked. Some words better left unsaid. Because saying them doesn’t make you matter any less.

Just because someone can do something with little or no training, it doesn’t mean that others can’t do it (and sometimes do it even better) with training.

Nothing begins and nothing ends That is not paid with moan For we are born in others' pain And perish in our own.

All your heroes are dead! I killed them!

Rhythm must have meaning.

Keep your chin up. No one expected you to save the world, otherwise you would have been born wearing a cape and tights. Just do the best you can.

Let yourself daydream sometimes... Allow spontaneous images to come and go. Capture one in a sketch. These images express connections with your inner self.

There is a state when words cease and silence prevails.

I like Alaska for the salmon fishing - it's fantastic there. I usually stay in a log cabin with no one around for miles. I like to go with friends, but I'm also happy to be on my own with nature.
