Dreams

“I think of [dreams] as snapshots floating up from a mysterious vat, offering metaphoric pictures of what’s going on inside. Sometimes the images suggest where my soul wants to lead me and sometimes where it does not, giving me input and guidance about choices I might make.” -Sue Monk Kidd Traveling with Pomegranates

Art

“I have said my say in paints, what I find difficult to say in words.” –LeConte Stewart

Reality

"Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously."
-Norman Vincent Peale

Of Matter

"Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least."
-Goethe

Change

"Discontent is the first necessity of progress."
-Thomas A. Edison

Listen

"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them- if you want to. Just as some day, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."
-J.D. Salinger

oh la

there is more to sex appeal than just measurements.

i don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness.

i can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off

a tree or standing in the rain.

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
-Rumi

Thoughts

"I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet."
-Mahatma Gandhi

Fitzgerald

"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald

Good

"Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts... good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt. They're not painful. That's not just with somebody you want to marry, but it's with the friends that you choose. It's with the people you surround yourselves with."
-Michelle Obama
