Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed, citizens can
change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
~ Margaret Mead
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the
hard way, that some
poems don't rhyme, and some
stories don't have a clear beginning,
middle, and
end. Life is about not knowing, having to change,
taking the
moment and making the best of it,
without knowing what's going to
happen next.
~ Gilda Radner
You cannot find peace
by avoiding life.
~ Virginia Woolf
A life spent making mistakes is not only
more honorable, but more useful than
a life spent doing nothing.
~ George Bernard Shaw
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable
spark in the
hopeless swaps of the not-quite,
the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not
let the hero
in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the
life you
deserved and have never been able to reach.
The world you desire can be
won. It exists.. it is real,
it is possible .. it's yours.
~ Ayn Rand
“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love.
When we are
afraid, we pull back from life. When we
are in love, we open to all that
life has to offer with passion,
excitement, and acceptance. We need to
learn to love
ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.
If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our
ability to love
others or our potential to create. Evolution
and all hopes for a better
world rest in the fearlessness
and open-hearted vision of people who
embrace life.
~ John Lennon
