Love is not a mere sentiment. Love is the ultimate truth at the heart of creation.

It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

I hate cynicism, it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true.

Poetry is what makes me laugh or cry or yawn.

If you don't love something, you're not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much.
