“We are always - always- in choice.”

“Instead of a book, what if we're actually writing (or not writing) in the margins of our lives? What if our lives are books? What is the sign of our presence? Are we pressing into the margins our interpretations and questions? Are we circling offending verbs and drawing furious arrows to the margin where we scrawl "irony," "frustration," "voiceless," "unfair!" Or do we simply turn the pages, passively receiving what's given, furiously disagreeing but remaining silent about it?”

“If you're alive, you're creative.”

“What if your art could provide everything you ever needed or wanted in life?”

“Take yourself out of the center of other people's universe - it will free you up and let the universe turn more easily.”

“And by knowing what we fear, don't we know what we care about, how we are measuring our worth, what success looks like?" I asked. So isn't fear helpful, then?”

“We can create a different future - one simple, beautifully mundane, daily decision at a time.”
