“I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they're your parents. Because, if you're the kind of person who senses there's something out there for you beyond whatever it is you're expected to do - if you want to be EXTRA-ordinary- you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you you're not extraordinary. Instead, you will probably become as ordinary as they expect you to be.”

― Kelly Cutrone, If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You

 

“To be successful you need friends and to be very successful you need enemies.”
