“Here’s a good reason to never think of yourself as a VICTIM: the origin of the word comes from living creatures sacrificed to supernatural powers. So don’t you let anyone pin you down on an altar and take the life from you. You might have been hurt, abused, wounded, and used, but you are not theirs. You are your own. The meaning of OWN means to make one’s own…so there you go. You decide. They don’t.”

“Mercy is far better than justice, even if it is your right to ask for it.”

“Never run from the truth. It is always there; it never changes – save your energy.”

“It ought to make us feel ashamed when we talk like we know what we’re talking about when we talk about love.”

“Change is possible if you allow it to happen. Nothing in life is constant; it’s always evolving and that’s how life happens for me. Through my adversities I can reach new heights.”

“I really do literally put myself into a character’s shoes.”

“We know from daily life that we exist for other people first of all, for whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.”

“Sports represent a shared vision of how we continue, as individual, team, or community, to experience a happiness or absence of care so intense, so rare, and so fleeting that we associate their experience with experience otherwise described as religious or we say the sports experience must be the tattered remnant of an experience which was once described, when first felt, as religious.”

“Wherein lies happiness? In that which becksOur ready minds to fellowship divine,A fellowship with essence; till we shine,Full alchemiz’d, and free of space. BeholdThe clear religion of heaven!”

“We all reject out of hand the idea that the love of our life may be something light or weightless; we presume our love is what must be, that without it our life would no longer be the same; we feel that Beethoven himself, gloomy and awe-inspiring, is playing the “Es muss sein!” to our own great love.”

“You’re looking for success, but it’s not out there. It’s inside you. Be and become successful.”

“I do not have results … I have an impossible task !!”

“Life is short. Live you dreams now!”
