What is your favorite quote?“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”- Andy Dufresne. Which I have tattooed across my chest. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain Do you collect anything?I used to collect PEZ dispensers but I stopped when I turned 20.

What is your favorite quote?(i have three)
"we're all fed such false messages about success in life, made to believe it's a point of arrival. so most of us spend our whole lives waiting to arrive. we expect that once we get there, the long story of the life we just lived will be infused with meaning. but while we're waiting our voices dry up. they forget how to ask, they forget how to listen, they forget how to tell." - off the map
"out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. the most massive characters are seared with scars." - khalil gibran

The story becomes the thing needed." -Dorothy Allison Do you collect anything? not really anything you can hold on to. New experiences, on the other hand ... What is your favorite childhood book?
