"I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; 

the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you."

"We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."
