You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too—even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.

Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.

Get not your friends by bare compliments, but by giving them sensible tokens of your love.

If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
