The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently.

My airplane is quiet, and for a moment still an alien, still a stranger to the ground, I am home.

don't you think between here and now we will see each other once or twice?

Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?

Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

The world is your exercise book, the pages on which you do your sums. It is not reality, though you may express reality there if you wish. You are also free to write lies, or nonsense, or to tear the pages.

Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

You're never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true.

Get this in mind early: We never grow up.

Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.
