It is not the life that matters, but the journey.

To believe in your choice you don't need to prove that other people's choices are wrong.

People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.

Don't think about what you've left behind. If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

No one can learn to love by following a manual, and no one can learn to write by following a course. I'm not telling you to seek out other writers but to find people with different skills from yourself, because writing is no different from any other activity done with joy and enthusiasm.

It's a good idea always to do something relaxing prior to making an important decision in your life.
