People are looking for inspiration, and my books are sometimes the vehicles of what people are looking for.

We are all in motion. Always. Those who are not climbing toward something are descending toward nothing.

I don't want to go to Peru. "How do you know? You've never been there." I've never been to hell either and I'm pretty sure I don't want to go there.

There are none so impoverished as those who do not acknowledge the abundance of their lives

"You know, I've wondered if it's more painful to lose someone you love to death or to lose someone you love because she no longer loves you back." "I don't know," I said. "On the surface, it seems an easy question. It should be so much easier to lose someone who doesn't love you, because why would you want to be with someone who doesn't want you? But rejection's not an east road. A part of you always wonders what makes you so unlovable."

The assumption of time is one of humanity's greatest follies. We tell ourselves that there's always tomorrow, when we can no more predict tomorrow than we can the weather. Procrastination is the thief of dreams.

It has been a mistake living my life in the past. One cannot ride a horse backwards and still hold its reins.
