Don't wait for a huge platform before you give of your best performance

Give people room to be what God created them to be, don't force them to fit into your own mold

Masters today, were Starters Yesterday, so begin now.

Don’t expect the world to dish you your wishes, go out and serve yourself.

Children and lunatics cut the Gordian knot which the poet spends his life patiently trying to untie.

The bathroom door swings open. Emma sees the blood painting my skin and the red rivers carved on my body. Emma sees the wet knife, silver and bone. The screams of my little sister shatter mirrors.

Pray, love, remember: and there is pansies, that's for thoughts.
