At the temple there is a poem called "Loss" carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read loss, only feel it.
The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.
I don't know when we'll see each other again or what the world will be like when we do. We may both have seen many horrible things. But I will think of you every time I need to be reminded that there is beauty and goodness in the world.
Hopes are like hair ornaments. Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one.
Flowers that grow where old ones have withered serve to remind us that death will one day come to us all.
For a flicker of a moment I imagined a world completely different from the one I'd always known, a world in which I was treated with fairness, even kindness-- a world in which fathers didn't sell their daughters.
When a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom.
We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course.
I began to feel that all the people I'd ever known who had died or left me had not in fact gone away, but continued to live on inside me just as this man's wife lived on inside him.
If you aren't the woman I think you are, then this isn't the world I thought it was.
And when I raised myself to look at the man who’d spoken, I had a feeling of leaving my misery behind me there on the stone wall.
Of course, a sign doesn't mean anything unless you know how to interpret it.
Watch for the thing that will show itself to you. Because that thing, when you find it, will be your future.
It’s less a matter of looking the other way than of closing our eyes to what we can’t stop from happening.

Motivation is a byproduct of action, not the catalyst for it.
Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you.
Today is a new day. Stop living in the past.
Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.
You attract what you are, not what you want. If you want great, then be great.
Your goals should scare you a little and excite you a lot.
