“Where there is life, there is hope.” 

“It still holds true that man is most uniquely 
human when he turns obstacles into opportunities.

Your Passion

“Whatever your passion is, keep doing it. Don't waste 
time chasing after success or comparing yourself to 
others. Every flower blooms at a different pace. Excel 
at doing what your passion is and only focus on perfecting 
it. Eventually people will see what you are great at doing, 
and if you are truly great, success will come chasing after you.” 

“If there was a reason why he preferred the liberal 
tendency to the conservative one (also held to by 
many of his circle), it was not because he found the 
liberal tendency more sensible, but it more closely 
suited his manner of life.” 

“If you don't write when you don't have time for it, you won't write when you do have time for it.” 

“When you experience a negative circumstance or event, 
do not dwell on it. Be proactive — put your attention on 
what you need to do to bring the situation to a positive result.” 

In my Twenties

“In our twenties we have conflicts. We think everything is either-or, black or white: we are caught between them and we lose all our energy in the conflicts. My answer, later on in maturity, was to do them all. Not to exclude any, not to make a choice. I wanted to be everything. And I took everything in, and the more you take in, the more strength you find waiting to accomplish things and to expand your life, instead of the other (which is what we have been taught to do) which is to look for structure and to fear change, above all to fear change. Now I didn't fear change.”
