Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
Lao Tzu |
Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusual.
Ernest Hemingway |

By being beautiful and kind you are doing your part to create a more beautiful world. When you are kind to people in public you become a force for good, and you are teaching everyone who is watching you. People know love when they feel it; your heart speaks to their heart. People don't care what you say, only how you make them feel, so try to create pleasure for every person you encounter. If you do this, your life will change forever, along with the lives of those you have touched. We are both thinking and feeling creatures. We must, therefore, devote our lives not only to rationality, but also to kindness. There is no greater intelligence than kindness and empathy. Kindness is the supreme intelligence. Let your brilliance be expressed through kindness. If you can be kind to people, you will be a genius in this world. — Bryant McGill |

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Jim Morrison |

“I know so many last words. But I will never know hers.” – John Green, Looking For Alaska |
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” – Jack Kerouac, On The Road |
“She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It’s good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind.” – Toni Morrison, Beloved |
“
Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.” – Janet Fitch, White Oleander |
Once you choose hope, anything's possible. ~Christopher Reeve

"You are responsible for your life. If you're sitting around waiting on somebody to save you, to fix you, to even help you, you are wasting your time. Only you have the power to move your life forward."

"Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure." |
... our humanity is our burden, our life; we need not battle for it; we need only to do what is infinitely more difficult—that is, accept it.’’
—James Baldwin, from the essay Everybody’s Protest Novel |
"Your story isn't calm. The road has been chaotic at times, filled with detours and rain and loss so sudden, and soon. Sometimes the bliss was so elevated your heart could hardly hold it. Somtimes it was maddening to have, and then to lose. You learn soon enough that it hardly ever goes as planned -- gentle, easy, and smooth. But that my friend, is what makes you fascinating. You have something to tell. Something you've walked through. Something wild. Something courageous. Something true. You're made of stores within stories within even more stores. Those quiet depths of you."
-- Victoria Erickson |
Morality, like art, means drawing a line some place. Oscar Wilde

The most common way people relinquish power is by thinking they don't have any. —Alice Walker

"when one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself." ~jacques cousteau

”I choose to collect memories instead of things. To see the world, things
dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of ‘Life’. Live simply, travel lightly, love passionately & don't forget to breathe….” -Elena Levon |
"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."
-- Christian D. Larson |
"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."
--Thomas Merton |
Most problems in life are because of two things, we act with out thinking or we keep thinking without acting.

"Be yourself. If you water yourself down to please people or to fit in or to not offend anyone, you lose the power, the passion, the freedom and the joy of being uniquely you. It's much easier to love yourself when you are being yourself."
-- Dan Coppersmith |

"When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been.
But she had wings." -- Dean Jackson |
