When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.

I believe that every person is born with talent.

We need much less than we think we need.

The desire to reach the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.

I became the kind of parent my mother was to me.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
