Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

I really love this city. It’s so very beautiful. It’s so multidimensional. People say it has a darkness and a decadence, which it tries to hide; they say it’s full of the pretentious and opulent trying to strangle the dark reality. But that’s true for most of the other great cities too. . . .
There is a soul here . . . and that soul is as pure as the heat of the sun that shines down on it and the rain that falls to purify it.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

I really liked the juxtaposition (big word!) of the telephone lines, traffic lights, and cars with the gorgeous colours of this winter sunset.
