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 what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.
Gilda Radner
Once the realization that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other against the sky.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive along with which comes the inner voice which says, ‘This is the real me’, and when you have found that attitude, follow it.
William James
I may not have gone to where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
Douglas Adams
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
George Bernard Shaw
So be sure when you step. Step with great care and great tact. And remember that life’s a Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will indeed!
Dr. Seuss
By three methods we learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are here for a reason. Only when we have overcomethem will we understand why they were there.
Paul Coelho
