“People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing.”

“When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame and unafraid.
The new dawn balloons as we free it.
For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

“We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to.”

“Tout le monde s’habitue. C’est dans la nature humaine.On s’habitue à voir l’inhabituel, on s’habitue à vivre des choses dérangeantes, on s’habitue à voir des gens souffrir, on s’habitue nous-mêmes à la souffrance. On s’habitue à être prisonniers de notre propre corps. On s’habitue, ça nous sauve.”
