“Everyone’s story is just their story. It may have little to do with you, or nothing to do with you.”

“All of us are part of a big story. It is a story that is much bigger than we know. Do not confuse the life you live with the story. Do not be afraid to leave the story. You may get scared sometimes because you fail to understand that what is scared is not you. It's the story. The story looks for a way to travel. The story is afraid you will let go.”

“Life doesn’t happen to you, but for you. Lessons can be found in everyone’s story.”

“Do you ever get moods when life seems absolutely meaningless? It's like a badly-constructed story, with all sorts of characters moving in and out who have nothing to do with the plot. And when somebody comes along that you think really has something to do with the plot, he suddenly drops out. After a while you begin to wonder what the story is about, and you feel that it's about nothing—just a jumble.”

“You may do this, I tell you, it is permitted. Begin again the story of your life.”

“We all tell our stories the way we want to. And sometimes those stories have nothing to do with reality.”
