It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.

Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven’t changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don’t change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.

And when I asked you how you’d been, I meant I missed you more than I’ve ever missed anything before.

As long as you can make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.
