It is not giving up, it is accepting. And the light will enter. Always does.

Now I know what success is: living your truth, sharing it.

Decide what your truth is. Then live it.

No matter how smart we may think we are, no matter how committed we are to our truth, we can lose our way.

Ask yourself: what is it, that if I believed it down to my core, would change everything?

The act of going within, finding our truth, and then sharing it, it helps us far more than we know.

One thing I've learned: we don't stumble accidentally into an amazing life. It takes decision, a commitment to consistently work on ourselves.

Pain doesn't last. And when it's gone, we have something to show for it. Growth.

If there's a definition of freedom, I think it's this: living life on your terms.

Success and failure come and go, but don't let them define you. It's who you are that matters.

Happiness is a choice and a state of mind.

Horrors of a nature most stern and most appalling would too frequently obtrude themselves upon my mind, and shake the innermost depths of my soul with the bare supposition of their possibility.

I believe in justice, as long as I'm holding a knife at the throat of the judge.

And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.

Women often approach me with a question- "Will I look like you after I give birth?". I say to them- "Well, have you looked like me before?". People, do not be fooled.

Pop stars exist in a different space, one not necessarily tied to a patriotism. So Rihanna is everyone's. She doesn't just belong to America, even though she's a creation of America.

There was definitely a lack of any sort of villain in the Clinton era, which is why when Columbine happened, it was easy to pick on me. My face was around and it made good TV.

Spring rain leaking through the roof dripping from the wasps' nest.

Thanksgiving is worry's kryptonite.

A clever man can see the world from a cave much better than a stupid man can from the top of a mountain!
