Embrace failure. Never never quit. Get very comfortable with that uneasy feeling of going against the grain and trying something new.

I remind myself everyday just how lucky I am to do what I love! I feel so fortunate and I'm just trying to take my life one day at a time.
Life forms illogical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?

[At age 92:] There are places I'd like to return to. But not as I was then but as I am now. 'Cause I'm trying to understand. And I've understood nothing.
When we see people that are impoverished and people who are dealt an unfair hand, then if we have the power to help them, we should try to do that.
