“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.” - Anne Lamott

I believe their voice will now be heard by all nations.
It is the time for freedom from mental slavery
and return to our birthright as good people
reclaim our kindred ship to each other,
the kingdoms and give due respect
and walk in balance and harmony
with the entire natural world.

"As Ray Porter watched his Mirabelle walk away he feels a loss.

How is it possible, he thinks, to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance so that when she was gone he would not miss her.

Only then did he realize how wanting part of her and not all of her had hurt them both, and how he cannot justify his actions except that, well, it was life."

- From Shopgirl, with Steve Martin & Claire Danes

The wise man, knowing how to enjoy achieved results without having constantly to replace them with others, finds in them an attachment to life in the hour of difficulty. But the man who has always pinned all his hopes on the future and lived with his eyes fixed upon it, has nothing in the past as a comfort against the present's afflictions, for the past was nothing to him but a series of hastily experienced stages. What blinded him to himself was his expectation always to find further on the happiness he had so far missed. Now he is stopped in his tracks; from now on nothing remains behind or ahead of him to fix his gaze upon.

Emile Durkheim

we must make demands of reason and create a life worthy of ourselves and of the goals we only dimly perceive --

for me, the moral difficulties lie in the continual pressure brought to bear on my friends and immediate family, pressure which is not directed against me personally but which at the same time is all around me --

-- Andrei Sakharov

There are no stronger words than "I love You".
All the fucking one can stand is not stronger.
All the bedroom "gifts", no.
"I love You" should make You tremble.
"I love You" should cause You to weep for the beauty of it and laugh passionately to the heavens.
"I love You" should empower You.
"I love You" should give joy to every cell in Your body.
"I love You" should take You to Your knees and lift You up again.
There is nothing more powerful to hear....
Nothing more powerful to say....than "I love You".

~Janey Hall

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.
Life's a bitch.
You've got to go out and kick ass

~ Maya Angelou ~

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry;
to get my work done
and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

~ Maya Angelou ~

If you have only one smile in you,
give it to the people you love.
Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street
and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers.

~ Maya Angelou ~
