I don't want to be a legend; I want to be a myth.

The heart is a lonely hunter, and it will always be so.

"Stories are like rivers, always flowing, always changing."

So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
