“People allow themselves to be defeated”

“To the warriors of light, there is no such thing as impossible love. They don’t allow themselves to be intimidated by silence, or by rejection. They know that – behind the icy mask people wear – there is a heart of fire. That is why the warriors risk more than others. They tirelessly seek love – even if this means hearing, many times over, the word ‘no’, returning home defeated, feeling rejected in body and soul. Warriors don’t allow themselves to be discouraged. Without love, live has no meaning.”

“Oblivion is full of people who allow the opinions of others to overrule their belief in themselves.”

“People are all crazy... but the craziest are the ones who never allow themselves to be crazy.”

“I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.”

“There's a whole category of people who miss out by not allowing themselves to be weird enough.”
