Do not ask that your kids live up to your expectations. Let your kids be who they are, and your expectations will be in breathless pursuit.

I have fancied myself a rebel, but at every critical moment of my life, I have been exactly the child my parents raised.

In the great artist you see daring bound by discipline and discipline stretched by daring.

The last I heard from my destiny, it wanted me to make a legal U-Turn at my next opportunity.

Toss your dashed hopes not into a trash bin but into a drawer where you are likely to rummage some bright morning.

You do not wake up one morning a bad person. It happens by a thousand tiny surrenders of self-respect to self-interest.

All your life you pretend to be someone else, and it turns out that you were someone else pretending to be you.
