I actually have a great deal of respect for antidepressants; I think they can be enormously mighty tools toward recovery.

A true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

I've never seen any life transformation that didn't begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit.

Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.

Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.

I'm choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I'm making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.

This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.

There's always another level up. There's always another ascension. More grace, more light, more generosity, more compassion, more to shed, more to grow.

You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.

Never forget that once upon a time, in an unguarded moment, you recognized yourself as a friend.

If you're going to answer the call and you're going to transform and you're going to change, get ready. It is not a day at the beach.

When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.

None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with YOU. You're locked up in here with ME.

I grew up, I was going I want to be Jerry Lee Lewis. Only I can't play piano and sing that good.

Be swift to hear, slow to speak.

Being the number one pick was a great opportunity and meant a lot to me.

Much sheer effort goes into avoiding the truth; left to itself, it sweeps in like the tide.

Their whole life will begin to shift, from their first physical contact with you.

The relationship, the marriage, the commitment, the partnership... This is the holy ground.

I'm going to start water skiing someday...as soon as I can separate it from being dragged by a boat.
