“Dream Bigger You think. Stop letting small minded people dictate your future when all they really want is for you to accomplish the work of two, for minimum wage. Reach higher, orelse plan for retirement in a cardboard box, praying global warming is more than a catchphrase. And if thatfails to be the case, hope freezing to death is really as simple as falling asleep, to the lullaby of teeth chatter.Dream bigger before you can't remember how to dream at all.”
“Scientists say every action initiates an equal and opposite reaction. I say that's just the start. I say every action initiates a most unequal and upredictable chain reaction, that every filament of living becomes part of a larger weave, while remaining identifiable.

That every universe is part of a bigger heaven, a heaven of rhythm and geometry, where a heartbeat is the apex of a triangle.”

The misbegotten decisions you can never reverse, but only by sorting through them can you find where you took the wrong turns and gain proper perspective. Time is a parabolic lens, bringing hindsight into focus.”
“Fact, in overt disguise, is often all people need to embrace lies invented as distraction.”
“Frustration, too evident in the cement clench of his jaw. Distance, the ethereal detached from the flesh and bone. Impatience, in the soft thrum of his heel as we sit in silence.”
“A daughter is a rainbow - a curve of light through scattered mist that lifts the spirit with her prismatic presence. Is a shadow - a reminder of something brilliant ducking out of sight, too easily drawn away. She is an aria, swelling within the concern chamber, an echo reverberating across a miniature sea. She is a secret, whispered, a hint of what we cannot know until it finds us. She is a sliver of her father, a shard of her mother. A daughter is a promise, kept.”
“Love' is safe. 'In love' is reckless. Alive.”
“Dream bigger before you can't remember to dream at all.”
