In a crazy world, it's only your insanity that will keep you sane

When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.

I am often accused of being childish. I prefer to interpret that as child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to exaggerate and fantasize and embellish. I still listen to instinctual urges. I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never water my garden without soaking myself. It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity and produced my best work.

Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

We are no longer puppets being manipulated by outside powerful forces: we become the powerful force ourselves.

Every moment spent in unhappiness is a moment of happiness lost.
