Megan Whalen Turner: "I would have a more interesting life, even if it is a shorter one."

Remember today, for it is the beginning of always. Today marks the start of a brave new future filled with all your dreams can hold. Think truly to the future and make those dreams come true.

It’s best to be honest, to make the most of what you have, to be happy with simple pleasures, and to have courage when things are difficult.

The secret to happiness is freedom. The secret to freedom is courage.
