The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.

Letting go of someone we love is the hardest thing we will ever do. Some people never surrender to love for the fear of being hurt. But to not have loved, to not have felt the immense joy it brings, would have been a far worse kind of death.

The key is to figure out what you want out of life, not what you want out of your career.

My eyes are too big, my nose is too flat, my ears stick out, my mouth is too big and my face is too small... my body is thin as a clarinet and my ankles are so skinny that I wear two pairs of bobby socks because I don't want people to see how thin they are.

Liberation is an interesting word, because you can be liberated from external things, and also from your internal dialogue.

I have witnessed the softening of the hardest of hearts by a simple smile.

You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it.
