We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories.

I'm alive and I have a chance to do something with my life. That's the only motivation I need.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.

You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.

The meaning of life is not in how much you have, but in how you face loss.
