My goal in life is not fame or fortune. It is simply to one day own a library with a ladder.
We grow fearless by doing those things we fear.

I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart; of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts.
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
