I personally like being unique. I like being my own person with my own style and my own opinions and my own toothbrush.

Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It's about knowing and accepting who you are.

Do things that make you happy within the confines of the legal system.

When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.

Accept who you are. Unless you're a serial killer.

My point is, life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The pina and the colada.

It's failure that gives you the proper perspective on success.

The thing everyone should realize is that the key to happiness is being happy for yourself and yourself.

Emote. It's okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling.

It makes a big difference in your life when you stay positive.

Above all things physical, it is more important to be beautiful on the inside - to have a big hear and an open mind and a spectacular spleen.

Feelings, rationale and values are the top qualities that make a person exceedingly human.

The whole world seems tilted, my inner ear displaced by a hole where my spouse used to be.

Like dry ground welcoming the rain, he let the solitude, silence, and loneliness soak in.

My goal in life is to be content. By that I don't mean "fine" or "basically satisfied." I don't mean settling. I mean, for last of better terms, feeling like I'm in the right life.

Never boss people around. It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter.

Red tape has killed more people than bullets.

I love to write when I feel like everybody else is asleep and when I feel like the world is kind of empty in some ways. I find, oddly enough, that I write about loneliness and isolation a lot.

If life gives you lemons, make apple juice and make people wonder how the hell you did it.

Nothing matters. Nothing matters.

To reduce man to the duties of his own city, and to disengage him from duties to the members of other cities, is to break the universal society of the human race.
