A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature's forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle.
My childhood memories are amazing; I had freedom in every way — but I see everything from a different perspective now that I live outside.
Fall in love with a dog, and in many ways you enter a new orbit, a universe that features not just new colors but new rituals, new rules, a new way of experiencing attachment.
There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way.
Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground — as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
As life has a way of unfolding as it is meant to, I have learned to trust life.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm way more of a joker than I am a serious person.

I'm a mom, so I have to be comfortable. Jeans are a staple — I have way too many in my closet! It's warm in Florida, so I wear jeans and a tank top every day. I love my True Religions, my Rich and Skinny, and Citizens of Humanity. But I also love getting dressed up!
In my life I've learned that true happiness comes from giving. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. I think that love is what we're all searching for. I haven't come across anyone who didn't become a better person through love.
A little perspective, like a little humor, goes a long way.
I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache — it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side.
I'm a big believer in, no matter what you go through in life, as long as you can laugh your way through it, you're going to be okay.
A myth is a way of making sense in a senseless world. Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence.
The beauty of reading is that it lets you travel in a way you could never know.
I'm always happy for people when I see God blessing them the way he's blessed me.
Once in a while, a person finds his humanity in a way that astounds his contemporaries.
Voting is our right, but it is also our responsibility because if we don't take the next step and elect leaders who are committed to building a better future for our kids, other rights — our rights to clean air, clean water, health, and prosperity — are placed directly in harm's way.
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.
