Any problems that may occur have ultimately been caused by you, because you are responsible for where you are and what you are doing there.

The true hero is flawed. The true test of a champion is not whether he can triumph, but whether he can overcome obstacles - preferably of his own making - in order to triumph.

We too, must shatter the mirrors. We must look in to ourselves and root out the distortions until that thing which we know in our hearts is perfect and true, stands before us.

The visible becomes inevitable.

Gestures are all that I have; sometimes they must be grand in nature.

Can we not will ourselves to achieve the impossible? Can we not use the power of our life force to change something: one small thing, one insignificant moment, one breath, one gesture? Is there nothing we can do to change what is around us?

[T]he race is long - to finish first, first you must finish.
