If you spend too much time trying to find out what is good or bad about someone else, you'll forget your own soul and end up exhausted and defeated by the energy you have wasted in judging others.

There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason.

I'd have stopped writing years ago if it were for the money.

We never lose our loved ones. The accompany us; they don't disappear from our lives. We are merely in different rooms.

Sorrows do not last forever when we are journeying towards the thing we have always wanted.

When seen up close, dangers are controllable: when you begin to climb the mountain of your dreams, pay attention to the surroundings. There are cliffs, of course. There are almost imperceptible cracks in the mountain rock. There are stones so polished by storms that they have become as slippery as ice. But if you know where you are placing each footstep, you will notice the traps and how to get around them.

Be proud of your scars. They remind you that you have the will to live.
