I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else's whim or to someone else's ignorance.

I'm a firm believer that language and how we use language determines how we act, and how we act then determines our lives and other people's lives.

Often we don't even realize who we're meant to be because we're so busy trying to live out someone else's ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.

Defining myself, as opposed to being defined by others, is one of the most difficult challenges I face.

Don't waste a single second. Just move forward as fast as you can, and go for it.

To do common things perfectly is far better worth our endeavor than to do uncommon things respectably.
