"You don’t need to walk the path that others have walked. You don’t need to suffer the same scars."

I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.

Literature is the memory of humanity.

I was not born blind, I became blind at the age of 12. So I have seen the world and I know what things look like. When I sing about love and pain, joy and sadness, I know what I'm singing about.

The greatest gift you can give is your authentic self.
