I don't pretend to understand the Universe - it's a great deal bigger than I am.

Let me put it this way: when I read, I learned the world was not as small as my house. And that everybody in my home town was not representative of the way people in the world were raised. And that was what saved me.

I think it's important to look at the world as a bigger place than just the bubble that we live in. It's so easy to get caught up in things of a trivial nature.

You should be a person inside the world with knowledge of your terrain. And if you lock yourself into the 2,000-by-3,000-square-mile, lower-48 box of the United States, you're going to be frustrated by its limitations. You gotta think outside the box.

I recognize my limits but when I look around I realise I am not living exactly in a world of giants.

Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are.

No matter what, people grow. If you chose not to grow, you're staying in a small box with a small mindset. People who win go outside of that box. It's very simple when you look at it.

People don't have the opportunity to be larger than life anymore - they're afraid of seeing it on the Internet.

Some people look at big things, and other people look at very small things, but in a sense, we're all trying to understand the world around us.
