Your body hears everything your mind says.

You only get to be a victim once. After that, you're a volunteer.

Slow down, simplify and be kind.

You're only a victim once. The next time you're an accomplice.

No one's born with their destiny stamped on their forehead ... we make the choices to fulfill our destiny.

A dead end street is a good place to turn around. Can't really fault the logic of that, unless you want to go down the dead end of course!

I was a tiger, a good fighter, in good shape, but I was always nervous before boxing matches.

The curriculum of the future will be what one might call the humanistic curriculum.

One ought only to write when one leaves a piece of one's own flesh in the inkpot, each time one dips one's pen.

I've always find that Aussies and Vancouver-ites in general just have a similar kind of attitude.

No matter what sign you were born under, everybody else's horoscope will be more fun than yours.
