Hilary Mantel: "Beneath every history, another history."

It doesn't matter what happens to you. What matters is... what are you going to do about it? Are you going to complain and shrink or are you going to step into your greatness?

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

People who are attracted to you because of your pretty face or nice body won't be by your side forever. But the people who can see how beautiful your heart is will never leave you.
