I'm a writer and writers either have good memories or nothing at all.

Nothing will work unless you do.

A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

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.

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. Please remember that your difficulties do not define you. They simply strengthen your ability to overcome.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style

The brighter you are, the more you have to learn.

The world is governed by love,--self-love.

We've outsourced our memories to digital devices, and the result is that we no longer trust our memories. We see every small forgotten thing as evidence that they're failing us.

That cat will write her autograph all over your leg if you let her.

The ballet embodies the notes of music. And sometimes you almost feel like you can see the notes dance up there on the stage.
