“Oxigen [oxygen], as you well know, is my hero as well as my foe, and being not only strong but inexhaustible in strategies and full of tricks, I was obliged to call up all my forces to lay hold of him, and make the subtle Being my prisoner.”
“I've been successfully wearing my TWA during the fashion month in September 2015, but also I felt like my third appearance at a Victoria's Secret show would be more meaningful or impactful if I could help a few women embrace their natural beauty.”

“Love is energy: it can neither be created nor destroyed. It just is and always will be, giving meaning to life and direction to goodness... Love will never die.”
“I was recently told, 'You're a liar!' when I said to somebody I walked down the spine of the Andes. Every Spaniard in the sixteenth, seventeenth century did that.

“Fighters are afraid of conditioning, they are afraid of getting tired, but I donâ€™t want to have anxiety or be afraid of anything. I can go 100 percent out there and never have to worry about getting tired. Everybody says fighting is 90 percent mental, and itâ€™s true. Knowing you can go 15 minutes or 25 minutes without any problem can help you sustain that mental advantage over your opponent...”
“Some days I am not sure if my faith is riddled with doubt or whether, graciously, my doubt is riddled with faith.”
