The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.

Perhaps it’s when we experience confidence and faith and hope that we see materialize before our eyes this builds up within us a feeling of inner strength, courage, and security.
Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance.
Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
…but I’ve never regretted it. You can’t regret experience.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
