Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.

Success isn’t about how your life looks to others; it’s about how it feels to you.

The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

Human beings must always be on the watch for the coming of wonders.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.
