“Ideals are like the stars - you can't touch them with your hands, but by following them you reach your destination. ”

“Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the sea fearing man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny”

“The stars look like they're so close, you could reach out and touch them. But you can't. Sometimes things look a lot closer than they are.”

“One of the advantages of laws is that you can follow them blind, when you have lost all your moorings. You can't follow your instincts, but you can remember your rule.”

“I got to thinking—when it was too late—you have to reach out to people. To your family, too. You can't just let them sit there, you should put your hand out. If they slap it back, well you reach out again if you care enough. If you don't care enough, you forget about them, if you can.”

“You can't reach your hand into the space of tomorrow!”
