Nedovoľ, aby ti niekto hovoril, že niečo nedokážeš, dokonca ani ja. Rozumieš?! Ak máš sen, musíš ho ochraňovať. Ľudia niečo nevedia spraviť sami, a tak ti budú rozprávať, že to nedokážeš tiež. Ak niečo chceš, choď a vezmi si to. Bodka.

Každý človek raz zomrie, no nie každý skutočne žije.

Sprav to alebo to nesprav. Neexistuje žiadne skúsim.

Sme tým, kým sme sa rozhodli byť.

Život nie je o počte nádychov, ale o chvíľach, ktoré Vám berú dych.

Nedovoľ, aby ti niekto dal pocítiť, že si nezaslúžiš to, čo chceš.

Nie sú to naše schopnosti, ktoré ukážu kým v skutočnosti sme… ale naše rozhodnutia.

Ak by sa ľudia pozreli do zrkadla, zbadali by osobu, ktorá je zodpovedná za naplnenie väčšiny ich modlitieb.

Spoznávať svet i nebezpečie, ktoré prinesie, prekonávať hranice, zbližovať sa, spoznávať druhých a cítiť. TO JE ZMYSLOM ŽIVOTA.

Nemôžeš žiť svoj život pre potešenie ostatných. Rozhodovať by si sa mal podľa seba.

Všetko, čo musíme urobiť je rozhodnúť sa, ako naložíme s časom, ktorý nám bol daný.

To čo robíš práve teraz je to, na čom záleží.

Naše životy sú formované príležitosťami, dokonca aj tými, ktoré zmeškáme.

Úžasní ľudia sa nerodia úžasnými. Stanú sa nimi.

Ja stále verím v raj. Teraz ale viem, že to nie je nejaké miesto, ktoré môžete hľadať, pretože sa nenachádza tam kam smerujete. Je to o tom, ako sa cítite v daný okamih vo Vašom živote, keď ste niečoho súčasťou a keď zistíte, že to trvá večne.

Až keď nájdeš mier vo svojom vnútri, až vtedy objavíš skutočné spojenie s ostatnými.

Viem čo musím urobiť teraz. Musím aj naďalej zhlboka dýchať, pretože zajtra opäť vyjde slnko. Kto vie čo môže príliv priniesť?

Život je príliš rýchly. Ak sa nezastavíš a nepoobzeráš okolo seba aspoň raz za čas, mohol by ti ujsť.

Ty nie si tvoja práca. Nie si ani tvoje bankové konto. Nie si auto, ktoré šoféruješ a tiež nie si obsah tvojej peňaženky.

Odvaha nie je neprítomnosť strachu, ale skôr úsudok, že je niečo dôležitejšie ako samotný strach. Statoční nemôžu žiť večne, ale opatrní nežijú vôbec.

Ja som pánom svojho osudu, ja som kapitánom svojej duše.

There are people with an explicit political bent complaining about people having political agendas while nominating stories with political agendas. Is it political to try to be diverse? Is it political to try to imagine a non-heteronormative society? Yes, because it involves politics. But how do they expect us to not write about our lives?

I have nothing but contempt for Gadhafi. I'm not a Gadhafi supporter in any way. However, it's not clear to me that it's a vital and compelling national security objective of the United States that we ought to use military force to remove him from power. He's not the only unpleasant and unsavory dictator in the world.

Ever since I was little, I've always liked to smash things.

I think driving in New York is a great experience. A lot more racing techniques go into it than anyplace else I've ever driven. There basically are no lanes.

The single biggest existential threat that's out there, I think, is cyber.

For me personally, as I said, I want to serve my country. I've done it once, and I'm still in the army, I feel as though I should get the opportunity to do it again.

There is clearly a Christian New Testament tradition that warns against praying loudly in the front of the temple where everyone can see you.

Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises.

The Greek people do not want to exit the euro. And I believe the Greek people already have shown that they have made major sacrifices to stay in the euro zone.

When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning, not the result of ignorance or accident, its children will become the foundation of a new race.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

The country has sorted itself ideologically into the two political parties, and those partisan attachments have hardened in recent years. It will take an extraordinary event and act of leadership to break this partisan divide. I thought 9/11 might provide such an opportunity, but it was not seized.

Qualifying for the Olympic Games was one of those moments where you just cry because it was like you've climbed Mount Everest.

It is obvious, moreover, that the formation of price in capitalist society must differ from the formation of price in social conditions based upon the simple production of commodities.

Don't push your weaknesses, play with your strengths.

Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.

The only time I get recognised is when I go somewhere that is showing 'Coupling' on local television.

I liked the girly cartoons. I was very much a girly-girl.

When I was 12 years old, my father was killed. I lost a loved one to violence. The pain was because I lost my father. It didn't matter that he was an officer... It shaped my life. If anything, it made me a strong advocate for the victims of violence.

When my phone pops up with Dierks Bentley, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh!! Okay, wait. He's supposed to be, like, my friend. I'm supposed to be cool.'

I wonder if I ever thought of an ideal reader... I guess when I was in my 20s and in New York and maybe even in my early 30s, I would write for my wife Janice... mainly for my poet friends and my wife, who was very smart about poetry.

Jesus' life as a foot-washing servant would eventually lead to the adoption of humility as a widely admired virtue.

I think I'm very hardheaded.
