If there's no fire, there's no scream. If there's no scream, then no one hears you and no one comes to help you in the first place. The depth of my struggle has definitely determined the height of my success. To be able to teach my kids not just about success but about the struggle that comes with it.

For every promise, there is price to pay.

Jim Rohn

I am to be broken. I am to be derided all my life. I am to be cast up and down among these men and women, with their twitching faces, with their lying tongues, like a cork on a rough sea. Like a ribbon of weed I am flung far every time the door opens.

Virginia Woolf

Thy best of rest is sleep,And that thou oft provok'st; yet grossly fear'stThy death, which is no more.

William Shakespeare

That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.

John Berger

Common sense always speaks too late. Common sense is the guy who tells you ought to have had your brakes relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarterback who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flask on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always somebody else's money he's adding up.

Raymond Chandler

Love is without a doubt the laziest theory for the meaning of life, but when it actually comes a time to do it we find just enough energy to over-complicate life again. Any devil can love, whom he himself sees as, a good person who has treated him well, but to love also the polar opposite is what separates love from fickle emotions.

Criss Jami

All hurt is brain hurt.

John Green

I have been to the end of the earth,I have been to the end of the waters,I have been to the end of the sky,I have been to the end of the mountains,I have found none that are not my friends.

American Indian Proverb, Navajo

Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.

Anais Nin

It's important to travel and move and have a continual set of experiences so you've got more to feed back into your work. For me, it's a natural thing.

Cate Blanchett

The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle...

Napoleon Hill
