If you're always looking at someone else, trying to imitate them, how can your natural gifts ever emerge?

True love stories never have endings.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

The first thing we do when we're born is we breathe in, and we cry. And the last thing we do when we die is we breathe out, and other people cry.
