What's life without a little risk?

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.

I pursue one goal the encyclopaedia of life.

No, I don’t wear contacts, and contrary to what some people have said, I do not have a glass eye.

I did play Jesus in 'Godspell,' in high school, because I guess I'm a nerd.

Some people say I'm conscious, some say I'm a gangsta rapper - it's just me doing me. I'm stomping in my own lane. I'm doing what I do.

Out of Eternity the new day is born; Into Eternity at night will return.
