When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up, too.

It is so easy to give, so exquisitely rewarding.

It's not your job to be likable. It's your job to be yourself. Someone will like you anyway.

All mistakes teach us something, so there are, in reality, no mistakes.

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.

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

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.

The first time you do something only happens once.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Grief is the price we pay for love.
