“Stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they're your parents.”

“I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they're your parents. Because, if you're the kind of person who senses there's something out there for you beyond whatever it is you're expected to do - if you want to be EXTRA-ordinary- you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you you're not extraordinary. Instead, you will probablybecome as ordinary as they expect you to be.”

“There are people in this world who do not dream. They may try to stop you by their words and deeds, but like air, you can rise above it all. Dream, then follow your dreams and you will be unstoppable.”

“I suppose when the things that give you bad dreams live inside you, there's no point in trying to stop them. They're going to come out whenever they decide it is their time. Better just to close your eyes and hold on tight, the faster to get the things you fear to go back to sleep themselves.”

“Of course your parents know how to push your buttons. They're the ones who did the wiring.”

“And he dreamed the dream of all those who publish books, which was to have so much gold in your pockets that you would have to employ two people just to hold your trousers up.”
