“If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free.”

There is only one way to learn. It’s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.

In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.

When you were in love, you were capable of learning everything and of knowing things you had never dared even to think, because love was the key to understanding all of the mysteries.

When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.

We pretend to be strong because we are weak.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.

Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

If someone isn’t what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.

It is always important to know when something has reached its end.

The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.

Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

I am the daughter of Black writers who are descended from Freedom Fighters who broke their chains and changed the world. They call me.

The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy’s cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this.

Here is my secret: I don’t mind what happens.

Free speech, free press, free religion, the right of free assembly, yes, the right of petition. Well, they are still radical ideas.

Where freedom is menaced or justice threatened or where aggression takes place, we cannot be and shall not be neutral.

If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.

Running is real. It’s all joy and woe, hard as diamond. It makes you weary beyond comprehension, but it also makes you free.
