“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

“If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.”

“I've taken my fun where I've found it,
An' now I must pay for my fun,
For the more you 'ave known o' the others
The less will you settle to one.”

“For younger girls living in any small town, it can be hard to move forward and get out. You are more than capable, the only thing stopping you is you.”

“If you can find something that you're really passionate about, whether you're a man or a woman comes a lot less into play. Passion is a gender-neutralizing force.”

“Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them.”

“Surely every one realizes, at some point along the way, that he is capable of living a far better life than the one he has chosen.”

“[…] it’s much easier to achieve big dreams than it is small ones. Big dreams require big passion. And when you’ve got passion it’s easier to inspire others to come along and help you.”

“You must become a rational being that is capable to balance everything, big and small acts in life.”

“Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it.”
