Wear your heart on your skin in this life..

Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted..

I am myself. That is not enough..

I love my rejection slips. They show me I try..

I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills….

What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination..

Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself..

If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed..

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand..

After all, we are nothing more or less than we choose to reveal..

Hour by hour, day by day, life becomes possible..
