Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade.

Healing begins where the wound was made.

We turn not older with years, but newer every day.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

If you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out.

I never practice, I always play.
