The gigantic tension before the shooting of an arrow, and the total relaxation seconds later, is my way of connecting to the universe.

Death frees from the fear of dying

The darkest hour was just before dawn.

All my life, I thought of love as some kind of voluntary enslavement. Well, that's a lie: freedom only exists when love is present. The person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves most wholeheartedly.

Each human being has the right to seek out joy, joy being understood as something which makes one content - not necessarily that which makes others content.

Only he who gives up is defeated. Everyone else is victorious.

Tell your story: yes, tell your story! Give your example. Tell everyone that it's possible, and other people will then have the courage to face their own mountains.
