When the time comes to die, make sure that all you have to do is die!

Who you are as a person far outweighs what you do in an athletic arena.

Life is a work in progress.

The greatest works of art speak to us without knowing us.

In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double. Don't worry. Be happy.

I have a contract but it's not a commitment in the ordinary sense. It's our ongoing conversation.

Marry in haste, repent in leisure.

Our natural inclination is to hide ourselves from God.

Bruises mapped my body from bumping into tables and tripping over curbs while walking with a book in my hand, my eyes focused on the pages instead of the live space around me.

Like the saying goes, don't believe everything you read.

I meet people who are famous, and it's made me realise that fame has huge lifestyle disadvantages. I'm nervous about that. I don't want to become a celebrity.
