No day-to-day mishaps or indignities can really compromise your sense of self after you've survived a deep tragedy.
It takes a very strange person to enjoy fame, with all the by-products that come with it. It's not necessarily a thrill.
Life is supposed to get tough.
What I can control is how I react. I can't control anything else.
Alexander Pope once wrote that the theater aspires to wake the soul by gentle strokes of art - to raise the genius and to mend the heart.
