I don't believe that there are no spiritual beings around us. I don't know what to call them, I don't know how they work. But I know they're there

This is the part of us that makes our brief, improbable little lives worth living: the ability to reach through our own isolation and find strength, and comfort, and warmth for and in each other. This is what human beings do. This is what we live for, the way horses live to run.

If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.

I'm not saying we have power over everything in our lives - if that were true, my hair would look so, so different - but I am saying that there's no circumstance in which we are completely powerless.

To be really productive, it's as important to rest when we're tired as it is to work when we're inspired.

Imagine the choices you'd make if you had no fear-of falling, of losing, of being alone, of disapproval.

Don’t worry that you’ve wasted time. Each moment -- no matter how frozen or confused -- was a useful and necessary lesson.
