Imagination belongs to hope. It’s the creative dance of possibility.

Hope dreams into being what is possible but not yet formed.

A wish is a single unit of hope. It’s a single request for something I dearly desire.

Hope requires waiting. Waiting requires patience.

Don't be afraid that things are changing, because indeed they always are.

Due to financial reasons, I dropped out of school after eight years of formal schooling.

The more one analyses people, the more all reasons for analysis disappear. Sooner or later one comes to that dreadful universal thing called human nature.

It's amazing how the same pace in practice can feel so much harder than on race day. Stay confident. Trust the process.
