“Life is a perception of the mind; all the answers are within us”

“We'll see Heaven together. I promise with all my heart I'll never leave you alone.”

“Even if things aren't going the way we want right now, we will always get through it.”

“I want something good to die for. . . to make it beautiful to live.”

“Contemplating the adolescence through which we scorned the wrong, some of us must wish … that we could be born old, and grow younger and cleaner and ever simpler and more innocent, until at last, with the white souls of little children, we lay us down to eternal sleep.”

“The painting has a life of its own”

“The secret of success is concentrating interest in life, interest in sports and good times, interest in your studies, interest in your fellow students, interest in the small things of nature, insects, birds, flowers, leaves, etc. In other words to be fully awake to everything about you & the more you learn the more you can appreciate & get a full measure of joy & happiness out of life.”
