“While you can fill every heart as your own full of laughter loud as gold and passion quick as silver.”

“It was strange how loud the world was when you weren't filling it up with your own noise.”

“Everyone tells a story about who they are in their own head. That story defines you, dictating all your actions and all your mistakes. If your own story is filled with guilt and fear and self-hatred, life can look pretty miserable. But, if you're very lucky, you might have a person who tells you a better story, one that takes up residence in your soul, speaking louder than the woeful tale of which you've convinced yourself. If you let it speak loudly within your heart, it becomes your passion and your purpose.”

“If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that—warm things, kind things, sweet things—help and comfort and laughter—and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.”

“The sky is full of silver and gold./ Try to hide the sun./ It can't be done./ Least not for long.”

“If you measure your life by what you own, the cavern of your heart will never be filled.”
