Sometimes we settle for less because we're scared that we'll end up with nothing, and those with more share the same fear for 'nothing'. That's why you can't beat a man with nothing. He's fearless with absolutely nothing to lose.

I would rather dwell in the dirtiest of swamps with the left than dine in the finest room with the ugliest of characters from the right.

I no longer shed tears over people who turn their back on me. Sometimes, people who you thought were close will walk away from you. They aren't ready to come to terms with what you have to say. It's possible they never will.
