I'm a speck, an atom. Everything physical is an illusion, but it's there to guide us or test us or deter us. Our job is to navigate through this world while understanding the only thing that matters is the state of our soul, and that's very hard because I'm in the entertainment business, which is completely based on illusion and physical things. Any success I have is a manifestation of God. It's my ego that wants to claim ownership. It's hubris, arrogance and greed. --Madonna (in Untitled)

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. --Maya Angelou (in 3 Ways You Can Find More Happiness at Work)
