There are no maps to guide our most important searches; we must rely on hope, chance, intuition, and a willingness to be surprised.

It is difficult to remove by logic an idea not placed there by logic in the first place. By nature, we are emotional creatures. Often we live and react based on feelings, not logic. Feelings are wonderful, but when we become tied to a particular thought or belief we tend to ignore the fact that change might be necessary.

Life's two most important questions are Why? and Why not? The trick is knowing which one to ask.

We are not what we think, or what we say, or how we feel. We are what we do.

Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses.

We also need to learn the art of letting go: of the past, of unresolved grievances, of our younger selves. Nobody gets out of here alive.

If the map doesn't agree with the ground, the map is wrong.
