What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.

The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling the death of inspired response the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.

Dating is different when you get older. You're not as trusting or as eager to get back out there and expose yourself to someone.

If I'm with a man is that going to prevent me from achieving my goal? What sacrifices will I have to make in terms of being myself if I'm with a man? Something that young women find out really quickly is that when you start dating all of a sudden you're supposed to have a role. You're not allowed to just be yourself.

We had two rules growing up in my house: If you're going to take a shower do it with whomever you're dating so you don't waste water and if you buy one for yourself buy six because everybody's going to want one.

Dating is really hard because everyone puts on a front. It's really difficult to see who is who so it is important to be yourself.

In a relationship you have to open yourself up.

I was just a kid and I didn't have a dad. That's hard because when you're a kid you blame yourself for everything. And I blamed myself for him not being around for my parents not being together.

Before I guess mum and dad were everything but now in my case I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation. It's a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies you have yourself and then you have your parents.

My mother always taught me even my dad just never let other people's opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will.

And my dad drilled it in my head you know 'If you want it bad enough and you're willing to make the sacrifices you can do it. But first you have to believe in yourself.

Father told me that if I ever met a lady in a dress like yours I must look her straight in the eyes.

It takes far less courage to kill yourself than it takes to make yourself wake up one more time. It's harder to stay where you are than to get out. For everyone but you that is.

I think what I would say to my younger self and probably to younger just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you're just afraid to put yourself out there and it's uncomfortable because it's working up the courage to do something to push yourself to do those things.

Keep courage. Whatever you do do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.

Killing yourself is a major commitment it takes a kind of courage. Most people just lead lives of cowardly desperation. It's kinda half suicide where you just dull yourself with substances.

Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully and be of good courage. Do not be faithless but stay in your place and do not turn back.

Keep your fears to yourself but share your courage with others.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.

You gain strength courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

Picking a best friend who stands up for what she believes in is true to herself and allows you to be yourself without judgement of how 'cool' you are? Well now you're picking a friend for life.

I am a huge fashion fan. It's a really cool way to express yourself.
