To me, searching for perfection isn't anywhere near as interesting as trying to find your own voice.

The idea that you have to pursue greatness... it's up to you; it's your life.

I am actually a very gentle person.

While Obama might not push college education exclusively, like most Democrats he does oversell it and does shortchange the alternatives. And millions of young Americans pay the price.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
