“It’s just an illusion we have here on Earth, that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.”— Kurt Vonnegut
“Every man’s ultimate creation is himself.”“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”— Ernest Hemingway“Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.”— Charles Bukowski

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.-Maya Angelou
Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn’t something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it.-Haruki MurakamiThe most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.-Rachel Naomi Remen
Never doubt that you can change history. You already have.—Marge Piercy

We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.— Jean-Paul Sartre
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.”— Eckhart von Hochheim
I run because it’s so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can’t. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you’re capable of so much more than you thought.-Arthur BlankYou are an unfinished work in progress. One of the good things about life’s challenges: You get to find out that you’re capable of being far more than you ever thought possible.-Karen Salmansohn

I am not what happened to me; I am what I choose to become.— C.G. JungWhat I’m saying to you this morning is that communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social, and the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism but in a higher synthesis. It is found in a higher synthesis that combines the truths of both.— Martin Luther King, JrI can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.— John Cage
Oh, my friend, it’s not what they take away from you that counts. Its’swhat you do with what you have left.— Hubert Humphrey

“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”-Alan Watts “Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.”-Sylvia Plath“Change isn’t easy… changing the way you live means changing what you believe about life. That’s hard… When we make our own misery, we sometimes cling to it even when we want so badly to change because the misery is something we know. The misery is comfortable.”-Dean Koontz
Oh, there are so many lives. How we wish we could live them concurrently instead of one by one by one. We could select the best pieces of each, stringing them together like a strand of pearls. But that’s not how it works. A human’s life is a beautiful mess.— Gabrielle Zevin
