“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create.”

“It's all mirror, mirror on the wall because beauty is power, the same way money is power, the same way a gun is power.”
“You have to jump into disaster with both feet.”
“I'm living the life I love, I tell myself, and loving the life I live. I tell myself: I deserved this.
This is exactly what I wanted.”
This is exactly what I wanted.”
“Your past is just a story. And once you realize this, it has no power over you.”
“Silence.
Give me control. Give me calm. Give me restraint.

Give me control. Give me calm. Give me restraint.

Give me clarity. Give me reasons. Give me answers.
