motivation
"No one ever climbed a hill just by looking at it."
You don't have to see the whole staircase, you just have to take the first step.Martin Luther King Jr. |
love

Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
Martin Luther King, Jr. (f) |
The greatest thing in family life is to take a hint when a hint is intended-and not to take a hint when a hint isn't intended.
Robert Frost |
Change
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.
Bruce Barton |
A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.
Friedrich Nietzsche |
We are destroyed by expecting more than there is.

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

*Pollyanna Alert*
"Just breathing isn't living!"

"If someone strong enough to bring you down, show them you are strong enough to get up."

"Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love."
"The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart." |
"Life should be touched, not strangled. You've got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it." Ray Bradbury

over quoted, but still relevant
“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution”
~Kahlil Gibran |
Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference - those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are Black, who are older - know that survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to stand alone, unpopular and sometimes reviled, and how to make common cause with those others identified as outside the structures in order to define and seek a world in which we can all flourish. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master's house as their only source of support.
From Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider |
The world is a looking glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. -William Makepeace Thackeray, novelist (1811-1863)

"Do not lose hope - what you seek will be found." -from Neil Gaiman’s story, Instructions.

A story to me means a plot where there is some surprise. Because that is how life is - full of surprises.
~Isaac Bashevis Singer |
"It's impossible," said Pride.
"It's risky," said Experience. "It's pointless," said Reason. "Give it a try," whispered the Heart. |
