"The goal is not to mourn the lost futures, but to use them as a resource for the struggle to come."

I'm a fighter, and I believe in the power of love.

I always tell my kids, 'If you're going to do something, do it well. And if you're not going to do it well, don't do it at all.'

I try to live in the moment and appreciate the little things.

In literature, there are no borders; it is a universal language that transcends cultures and geographies.
