Perfection is what we create in our own mind. I prefer the flaw.

Being patient even in the thickest of storms can be the one device that may catapult you over any obstacle.

Being disappointed is sometimes an inevitable outcome that no one can control.

One day you'll love me, the way I love you. One day you'll think of me the way I think of you. One day you'll cry for me, the way I cry for you. One day you'll want me, but I won't want you.

Be conscious of one another and everything that we are connected to in this world of ours (not just your relatives and friends).

Being aware is a lot more than just reading a couple of news articles and talking about it on your preferred social network.

Before I began seeing a therapist, I lost a few iPhones due to chucking them across a room.

On the road, I try to maintain my connections with friends and family as much as I possibly can. That keeps me pretty grounded.

I love talking about food, and bringing people together to enjoy it.

Courage would be impossible in a world without pain.

At the still point, there the dance is.

Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience
