You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing.

I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.
