We are each a concert reverberating with our whole lives and reflecting and amplifying the world around us.

Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency.

Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.

Handwriting is more connected to the movement of the heart.

We are important and our lives are important, magnificent really, and their details are worthy to be recorded.

I used to think freedom meant doing whatever you want. It means knowing who you are, what you are supposed to be doing on this earth, and then simply doing it.

This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Don't wait.

Writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things that haunt them; things they can’t forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released.

It is odd that we never question the feasibility of a football team practicing long hours for one game; yet in writing we rarely give ourselves the space for practice.

Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.

Play around. Dive into absurdity and write. Take chances. You will succeed if you are fearless of failure.

You must have a vivid imagination of what you seek.

That level of responsibility drastically conflicts with my belief in self-preservation by inactivity.

Love all love of other sights controls. And makes one little room an everywhere.

Once in a while I'll get moved to do some exercise. It's something I long for but the biggest problem is bending down and putting my tennis shoes on. Once I go out I'm OK.

Too little process and you can't get good work done. Too much process and you can't get any work done. Most companies never find the middle.

You have to maintain integrity at all times during your life.

I don't trust anyone who wouldn't.

Those who cross the sea, change sky, but not soul.

If you get something for nothing, part of you may be pleased, but part of you moves your hand to give something back.

For me, childhood roaming was what developed self-reliance, a sense of direction and adventure, imagination, a will to explore, to be able to get a little lost and then figure out the way back.
