WEDNESDAY QUOTE

I hope you will have a wonderful year,

that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously,

that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it,

that you will be loved and that you will be liked,

and that you will have people to love and to like in return.

And, most importantly

(because I think there should be more kindness and

more wisdom in the world right now),

that you will, when you need to be, be wise,

and that you will always be kind.

Neil Gaiman

MONDAY QUOTE

Our lives are a flood of images and we are collectors who keep a strange assortment of images: moments of extreme emotion, pain, beauty, and fear stand out. Events we're taught to remember: weddings, graduations, births, deaths. Then there are the millions of images that we can't shake out of our heads, that come to us at strange times - things we can't remember why we remember: the gold threads in an old stereo speaker, the way the light hit a thousand cars in a parking lot by the water, the face of a stranger in a restaurant, a friend standing in a pool - you can't remember where, slapping the water with the flat of her hand. Memory is a sieve that holds curious things. A life is a trail of strange, colorful memories.

WEDNESDAY QUOTE

“Love yourself — accept yourself — forgive yourself — and be good to yourself,

Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are.

WEDNESDAY QUOTE

“Life means to have something definite to do—a mission to fulfill—and in the measure in which we avoid setting our life to something, we make it empty. Human life, by its very nature, has to be dedicated to something.”
Jose Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955); philosopher

QUOTE

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication.

Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”

“We are all in the process of becoming. ”
Audre Lorde (1934-1992)

And while it takes courage to achieve greatness, it takes more courage to find fulfillment in being ordinary. For the joys that last have little relationship to achievement, to standing one step higher on the victory platform. What is the adventure in being ordinary? It is daring to love just for the pleasure of giving it away. It is venturing to give new life and to nurture it to maturity. It is working hard for the pure joy of being tired at the end of the day. It is caring and sharing and giving and loving…

"If you have ideas and imagery, technique will follow."

"We all have our time machines.

Some take us back, they're called memories.

Some take us forward, they're called dreams."

Jeremy Irons

“Tell me and I'll forget;

show me and I may remember;

involve me and I'll understand.”
Chinese Proverb

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.

No apologies or excuses.

No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.

The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey

- and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.

This is the day your life really begins.”

“Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.”
Charles Dickens (1812-70), novelist

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
Mother Teresa

"Life is not measured by the breaths we take,

but by the moments that take our breath away."
