“The way you see yourself is important, you see. It's as if you carve yourself out of your own interpretation. And so I became the name I was called.”

“If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches”

“ If you hear a song that makes you cry and you don't want to cry anymore, you don't listen to that song anymore. But you can't get away from yourself. You can't decide not to see yourself anymore. You can't decide to turn off the noise in your head.”

“Procrastination is not Laziness", I tell him. "It is fear. Call it by its right name, and forgive yourself.”

“Take control of your destiny. Believe in yourself. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Don't give up and don't give in.”
