“We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life. Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls. We are weaned from our timidity In the flush of love’s light we dare be brave And suddenly we see that love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.” ~ Maya Angelou
“The great tragedy of the cosmos is that supernovas became convinced that they are just people.” ~ Vadim Keyser
“IMAGINE ONE DAY, the hateful world around you collapses. And it is your attitude, words and actions that put an end to it.” ~ AI WEIWEI, Chinese artist and dissident
“Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Be true to yourself. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others will treat you.” ~ Steve Maraboli
“The secret to becoming the greatest version of yourself is to let go of whatever is no longer serving you. We have to begin stripping away the layers until we reach our true authenticity, this is where we find the pearls within. Many of us do not feel we deserve to be great, we do not feel worthy. We have to let go of all the programming; I am not a race, religion, job, or democrat—I am. Anything keeping us in a box, we must get rid of; then we will see there is no box except the one we create. It is a magical universe we live in, we have to open our eyes to the beauty all around us.” ~ Ralph Smart

“Great people do things before they’re ready. They do things before they know they can do it. Doing what you’re afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that- that’s what life is. You might be really good. You might find out something about yourself that’s really special and if you’re not good, who cares? You tried something. Now you know something about yourself.” ~ Amy Poehler
“Officially we have two parties which are, in fact, two right wings of a common party of property. Since the property party controls every aspect of media, they have had decades to create a false reality for a citizenry largely uneducated by public schools that teach conformity with an advanced degree in consumerism.” ~ Gore Vidal
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.” ~ Akira Kurosawa
Love this guy!
“We’re gonna stand up, and we’re gonna be human beings. We’re gonna get fired up about the real things, the things that matter! Creativity, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.” ~ Waking Life
