“But one day, the things that make you free start to keep you down.”

“Death’s a funny thing. I used to think it was a big, sudden thing, like a huge owl that would swoop down out of the night and carry you off. I don’t anymore. I think it’s a slow thing. Like a thief who comes to your house day after day, taking a little thing here and a little thing there, and one day you walk round your house and there’s nothing there to keep you, nothing to make you want to stay. And then you lie down and shut up forever. Lots of little deaths until the last big one.”

“It's when you start doing things for free, that you start to grow wings.”

“Always keep in mind...It is extremely important to start each and every one of your days with a positive perspective...it will get you everywhere!”

“You are going to survive. And good things are going to start to happen again. And one day you are going to look back and this will not even be such a bad thing”

“It's important that you identify what the best things are in your life. The things that do more than just get you through the day. The things that make you want the next day to come. And once you identify those things, it's critical that you nurture them and keep them strong.”
