There comes a time when you have to drop your burdens in order to fight for yourself and your dreams.

Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.

If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.

Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life.

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.

Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.

You were created on purpose for a purpose. There is a thirst and hunger in your heart that is real. Pay attention to it.

Just because Fate doesn't deal you the right cards, it doesn't mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the cards you get to their maximum potential.

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.

He's getting away you idiots! Shoot him. I'm wearing Spider-Man underpants!

A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of poems. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

Twitter, far from fostering debate and broadening minds, has turned us into a hive of scolds. Angry mobs wait on the sidelines to strike and then bask in the glow of their moral superiority.

When something bad happens to me I think I'm able to deal with it in a pretty good way. That makes me lucky. Some people fall apart at the first little thing that happens.

I don't have to go to a doctor and have my face changed. It terrifies me that women do that.

I'm just doing what I've done my whole life, which is talking to people about books and making them read. It's what I do in my friendships. "Here, you have to read this, you have to read this."

At the doors, people are telling me they are afraid to let their children go to the movies.

It'll only hurt for a second. Promise.

Shaking off restrictive chains requires action. They cannot be wished away. A declaration will never break chains. It requires commitment, self-discipline, and work.

There's a part of me that will always believe that Angel is Buffy's true love. That there will be a piece of her heart that will always be with him for the rest of her life.
