• Of course, destiny is a funny thing. We go out to meet it and we don't always know that we are.
• The story said she was a prisoner but that wasn't totally true because she had hope and whenever you have hope, you're never really anybody's prisoner.
• So sometimes it doesn't take much for your dreams to come true, you just have to be able to see it that way.
