"Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live."

"I will never deny that life isn't fair. It seems as though when a woman leaves a man she is strong and independent, but when a man leaves a woman he is a pig and a jerk."

"I think there is a song out there to describe just about any situation."

"Good works is giving to the poor and the helpless, but divine works is showing them their worth to the One who matters."

"When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages."

"Closed in a room, my imagination becomes the universe, and the rest of the world is missing out."

"Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back."

"The motive behind criticism often determines its validity. Those who care criticize where necessary. Those who envy criticize the moment they think that they have found a weak spot."

"The harder you fall, the heavier your heart; the heavier your heart, the stronger you climb; the stronger you climb, the higher your pedestal."

"Tell me that the purpose of life is to have fun, and without a care in the world I'll begin wreaking havoc on everything I pass. Now that's what I call pure, honest fun."

"Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live."
