“It takes a huge effort to free yourself from memory”

“You don't need to climb a mountain to know that it's high.”

“What hurts us is what heals us”

“Travel is never a matter of money but of courage”

“In magic - and in life - there is only the present moment, the now. You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points. 'Time' doesn't pass. We human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present; we're always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better, about the consequences of our actions, and about why we didn't act as we should have. Or else we think about the future, about what we're going to do tomorrow, what precautions we should take, what dangers await us around the next corner, how to avoid what we don't want and how to get what we have always dreamed of.”

“They say that in the second before our death, each of us understands the real reason for our existence, and out of that moment, heaven or hell is born.”

“Only children believe they're capable of everything.”

“God only allows us to see such things when he wants something to change”

“Only two things can reveal life's great secrets: suffering and love.”

“Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.”

“Don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do.”

“Déjà vu is more than just that fleeting moment of surprise, instantly forgotten because we never bother with things that make no sense. It show that time doesn't pass. It's a leap into something we have already experienced and that is being repeated.”
