Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress.

It is not enough to know your craft — you have to have feeling.

If you wake up and the day feels broken, just lean into the crack.

In quietness the soul expands.

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

When someone tells me “no,” it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.

You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got?

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.
