The truth isn’t always beauty, but the hunger for it is.

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

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

We are all born worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of success.

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

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

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

Take a canvas. Put a mark on it. Put another mark on it.

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

Being successful doesn't mean anything in and of itself. It just means that you're successful.

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.
