“You are your worst enemy. It is your negative thoughts that hold you back, nothing else.”

“I have learned that when sadness comes to visit me, all I can do is say “I see you.” I spend some time with it, get up, and say goodbye. I don’t push it away. I own it. And because I own it, I let it go.”

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than the atoms in your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about the universe: we are all stardust. You wouldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded because the elements (the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, all the things that matter for evolution) weren't created at the beginning of time, they were created in stars. So forget Jesus. Stars died so you could live.

I believe that when you love someone and that person loves you in return you’re uniquely vulnerable. They have a power to hurt you that’s like nothing else.

“Home isn’t where you’re from, it’s where you find light when all grows dark.”

“I cannot rid myself of the feeling that I’m not in the right place.”

“Hate has caused a lot of problems in this world, but it has not solved one yet.”

“Stop calling yourself a failure. There are planets and stars in your eyes; There are fires and oceans in your veins. Your head is a forest, your heart a meadow. And you, my Love, are a work of art!”

“Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.”
