The dream is you never giving up on your story because no one else can play your part.

We are all a people in need. We are not perfect. We are not machines. We make mistakes. We need grace. We need compassion. We need help at times. We need other people. And that's okay.

We don't just live in books awake and dreams asleep. We are living stories, you and I, with dreams inside us undeniable, with love to give and people to walk beside.

Nobody gets to name you. You are not forgettable. You are not replaceable. You are not your pain. You are sacred and special and alive.

What an amazing thing to feel known and loved, to feel understood, to walk through life with another person.

There's room for magic and inspiration. There's room to live a better story.

Love is a thousand things, but at the center is a choice.

Live with grace and dignity. It's a middle finger to the darkness

In the old legend the wise men finally boiled down the history of mortal affairs into a single phrase: 'This too will pass.'

Nothing can be achieved without hope or confidence. Be sure you always have both!

You make the decision: Whom did God punish?

In everything the middle course is best: all things in excess bring trouble to men. [Lat., Modus omnibus in rebus, soror, optimum est habitu; Nimia omnia nimium exhibent negotium hominibus ex se.]

Do not allow yourself to imagine that revolutionary thinking can be propagated by governmental power.
