"When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings."

—Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

"People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of."

—Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

"'And tho' / We are not now that strength which in old days / Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; / One equal temper of heroic hearts, / Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will / To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.'"

—Alfred, Lord Tennyson, "Ulysses"

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will."
