Optimism is the first cousin of love, and it's exactly like love in three ways: it's pushy, it has no real sense of humour, and it turns up where you least expect it.

Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.

Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting

Love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever.

The truth is that, no matter what kind of game you find yourself in, no matter how good or bad the luck, you can change your life completely with a single thought or a single act of love

There are no mistakes. Only new paths to explore.

If fate doesn't make you laugh, you just don't get the joke.

Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy.... aerial joy is freedom.

(After the losses) I decided I had to break through. I had to set a goal. My goal that I set was to never be pinned.

I'm sorry that it was all so successful. I honestly didn't mean it to happen like that. It's hardly surprising that people grew to hate me.

The old notion that brevity is the essence of wit has succumbed to the modern idea that tedium is the essence of quality.
