"Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit."
"Sometimes the little opportunities that fly at us each day can have the biggest impact."
"And as I looked at the star, I realised what millions of other people have realised when looking at stars. We're tiny. We don't matter. We're here for a second and then gone the next. We're a sneeze in the life of the universe."
"The only time you have no opportunities is when you decide to stop taking them."
"Take the stupidest thing you've ever done. At least it's done. It's over. It's gone. We can all learn from our mistakes and heal and move on. But it's harder to learn or heal or move on from something that hasn't happened; something we don't know and is therefore indefinable; something which could very easily have been the best thing in our lives, if only we'd taken the plunge, if only we'd held our breath and stood up and done it, if only we'd said yes."
