[To write poems] I think it's important to do research, and research mostly is going to come from books, so all of your reading is potentially helpful to your poetry.

Deal with yourself as a individual, worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.

She knows who she is, because she knows who she isn't.

Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.

The only way you can grow is to let yourself make mistakes and create contradictions. As we learn new things, some of our old attitudes will change.

We are strong enough to stand tall tearlessly, we are brave enough to bend to cry, and we are sad enough to know that we must laugh again.

We have a world to conquer...one person at a time...starting with ourselves.

I want to be clear about this. If you wrote from experience, you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.

We love because it's the only true adventure.

You must be unintimidated by your own thoughts.

Once you know who you are, you don't have to worry anymore.

Give time, give space to sprout your potential. Awaken the beauty of your heart – the beauty of your spirit. There are infinite possibilities.

Adventure is the best way to feel the reality thoroughly!

It's not personal, it's strictly business

It's fascinating how life works.

A catcher and his body are like the outlaw and his horse. He's got to ride that nag till it drops.

We should spread joy, but, as far as we can, repress sorrow.

I'm very, very sensitive to pain and to people who suffer.

It's a funny thing, by the way, how people who love free markets are also quite sure that they know that investors are being irrational.

Let us show great humility towards the peoples we wish to help, for we have very little to teach them.
