The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work.

A meaningful life is not being rich, being popular, or being perfect. It’s about being real, being humble, being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others.

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

Things are as they are.

The burden of the self is lightened when I laugh at myself.

There is no female mind. The brain is not an organ of sex.

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
