“{of Theatres} There, while weeping for sorrows which are not, laughing at the light jest or the ludicrous misadventure, how little is remembered of the want which makes fear the only bond that binds the living to life!”

“Regardless of how I live my life, there are people who develop fixations that are not healthy. It could be a visual thing, or it could be the music that they are drawn to. These people need help.”

“Most important thing in life is learning how to fall.”

“At its best, schooling can be about how to make a life, which is quite different from how to make a living.”

“Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age.”

“Obscurity and a competence—that is the life that is best worth living.”

“How you start your day is how you live your day. How you live your day is how you live your life.”

“People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.”
