The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live a thousand lives in one.

You have to be willing to put in the time, the effort, and the energy to be great.

"I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die."

I think it's important to have a good hard failure when you're young... I learned a lot from that. Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you. Because of it, I've never had any fear in my whole life when we've been near collapse and so on. I've never been afraid.
