"One must get in touch with one's self. To be of any value it isn't about attaining things, but subtracting things and getting to the core. The core of one's self. To purchase or buy into one's self is oneof the hardest things we must face or do in our lives. To be of real value in this world one must visit this place. Shop at this place. This large box-store of self."

"If you don't like who you are and where you are, don't worry about it because you're not stuck either with who you are or where you are. You can grow. You can change. You can be more than you are."

The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness."
Dalai Lama
"Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours."
