Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.

All mistakes teach us something, so there are, in reality, no mistakes.

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

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

I'm doing many different things to prepare for the inevitable failure of one of them.

At the end of the day, you are enough exactly as you are.

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

Exuberance is beauty.

In all things it is better to hope than to despair.

It’s better to look ahead and prepare, than to look back and regret.
