In my opinion, the best way of showing someone the best way to live life is by living it.

I think sunrises are rarer for me, but sunset is my favourite time of day.

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.

My challenge is, do not run away from the hard questions. Truly ask yourself what's worth living for in this life.

If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past, then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed.

When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.

IF YOU APPROACH THE WORLD WITH THE APRON OF A SERVANT,THEN YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO PLACES THAT YOU CAN'T GO IF YOU APPROACH IT WITH THE CROWN OF A KING

From the shore, the ocean is forever. It's a beautiful, dangerous place. Music is tied to the sea, born from the struggle, looking for hope. Because hope belongs in the dark places.

I don’t think we can solve the outside problems until we solve the ones within.

Eventually everything fails me, but when I look at the sunset or the sky, I'm reminded what it's like to be alive.

Not everyone who has killed themselves because they were HIV positive would have been killed by AIDS.

From an author's point of view, the most painful and dangerous weapon ain't no gun or blade, but a piece of paper with the word rejected on it.

We cannot change anything unless we accept it.

Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names; but once you know, everything changes.

I want to be a society vampire, you see.

Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us?

The more clearly one sees this world; the more one is obliged to pretend it does not exist.

Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say, love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.

The source of love is deep in us and we can help others realize a lot of happiness. One word, one action, one thought can reduce another person’s suffering and bring that person joy.

If to die honorably is the greatest Part of virtue, for us fate's done her best. Because we fought to crown Greece with freedom We lie here enjoying timeless fame.
