Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.

It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.

I'm not letting anyone else live my life for me and tell me what's best for me. I know what I need. I'm listening to my own heart from now on. I'm not letting my life pass me by.

Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.

When i first saw you i fell in love and you smiled because you knew.

And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in all the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.

The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find
herself in places no one has ever been before.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life;define yourself.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world  are the ones who do.

"Where should a woman wear purfume?" a young woman asked.
'Wherever one wants to be kissed" I said."

Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better... while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.

Get busy living, or get busy dying.

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
