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.

The difference between success and failure isn't the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart's desires no matter how scared you are.

Absolutely lonely people have few personal interactions of any kind.

In the moments I get it right, every step I take seems to be matched by a universal mystery, which obligingly, incredibly, creates what I can't.

A true leader is not someone who feels fully informed but someone who continuously receives insight and guidance.
