You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.

Mary Manin Morrissey

Don't wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater.

Mary Manin Morrissey

Have you ever struggled to find work or love, only to find them after you have given up? This is the paradox of letting go. Let go, in order to achieve. Letting go is God's law.

Mary Manin Morrissey

New York is a city where it's particularly hard to be poor, not only because everything costs twice as much as it does elsewhere but because over-the-top affluence is part of its identity.

Anna Quindlen Author

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

Julie Delpy Actress

What draws me to family... if I were a psychiatrist, I'd say an enormous amount of unresolved personal material. If I were an anthropologist, I'd say families are at the root of social structures - they shape our identity, our belief systems - and so I find them fascinating. Also, I love the idea that families have narratives that are essentially the family story that is passed along generation to generation - and the rifts start when people question the story.

A.M. Homes Writer

It doesn't matter how adventurous you want to be, you've still got to contain your identity.

Alex Kapranos Musician

I felt that I really couldn't be creative with opera. You're supposed to sound this way here. You're supposed to crescendo here. You're supposed to do that. I had no sense of identity while singing that kind of music.

Alex Winston

When we're growing up and being teenagers, oftentimes you try so hard to define yourself. You try to create an image of yourself because you don't really know who you are yet. And that can be kind of limiting because you forget that there are actually so many different sides of identity. And it's important to recognize that everyone is completely different.

Amandla Stenberg Actress
