Given that I don’t know anything, when I am making up stories about the future, why not make it a good story instead of a scary one?

Imagination belongs to hope. It’s the creative dance of possibility.

Hope dreams into being what is possible but not yet formed.

If I’m going to have hope, I’m going to have to learn to endure disappointment.

A wish is a single unit of hope. It’s a single request for something I dearly desire.

Hope requires waiting. Waiting requires patience.

Don't be afraid that things are changing, because indeed they always are.

Without hope, I wouldn’t even try. Hope lifts me to consider new possibilities so I can stay the course of my desire, no matter what.

We cannot protect ourselves from disappointment and still live a fully engaged life.

When I act, I act on behalf of who or what I love. Even when I have to fight against something, it is because of what I value and love.

Passion is the fire that can burn through fear.

I love going to coffee shops and just sitting and listening.

There are a lot of movies that inspire me to do what I do.

I'm not gonna shoot anyone with the pellet gun... Not unless I have to!

Who is it needs such flawless shafts as fate? What archer of his arrows is so choice, or hits the white so surely?

Even the most despotic government cannot stand except for the consent of the governed.... Immediately the subject ceases to fear the despotic force, his power is gone.

We forget our pleasures, we remember our sufferings.

Man reckons with immortality, and forgets to reckon with death.

I would like to say that I am not an apostle of the Muslim religion.

If you are going to ask yourself life-changing questions, be sure to do something with the answers.

Facts must be manipulated; some must be brightened; others shaded; yet, in the process, they must never lose their integrity.
