Make a promise: now that you have discovered a force that you were not even aware of, tell yourself that from now on you will use this force for the rest of your days. Preferably, also promise to discover another mountain, and set off on another adventure.

The best way to live a miserable life is to pay attention to what other people are saying about you.

When things start to happen, and the path does reveal itself to us, we become afraid of carrying on

Excessive caution destroys the soul and the heart, because living is an act of courage, and an act of courage is always an act of love.

When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.

I am going to sit here in the river. If you go home to sleep, I will sleep in front of your house. And if you go away, I will follow you - until you tell me to go away. Then I'll leave. But I have to love you for the rest of my life.

Defeat is for the valiant. Only they will know the honor of losing and the joy of winning.
