Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.
When you read about the lives of other people, people of different circumstances or similar circumstances, you are part of their lives for that moment.

When a moment in front of me appears to be particularly special, whether it be by beauty or experience, I capture it. I usually find a reason to justify taking that photo — symmetry, or color, or contrast — and it's my hope that my photography sheds light onto what I see and do on a daily basis.

In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
It is not easy to be a pioneer — but oh, it is fascinating! I would not trade one moment, even the worst moment, for all the riches in the world.

There is definitely a 'red carpet moment' to a bride's wedding day, but when designing for bridal, it is important to focus on the details that will captivate and capture the imagination of the bride — she has to fall in love with the gown.
From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it.
