“I am not a vessel – don’t tell me what to hold.”

I can’t change the whole world but I can change my world.

I won’t be waiting around to see where you stand. I can stand on my own.

I would rather be known and disliked than never truly known at all.

Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.

I’ve learned, That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you’re hooked for life.

Men will clutch at illusions when they have nothing else to hold to.
