The person who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

What we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered.

Success is not about following the crowd; it's about carving your own path and staying true to your vision.

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.
