Like Water

“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. ‘Time’ for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”

Chains and Expectations

"That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day."

-Charles Dickens, Great Expectations,  ch. 9

Chambers of a Quivering Heart

"Words are much stronger than I am. I take a deep breath and sidestep my fear and begin speaking from the place where beauty and bravery meet--within the chambers of a quivering heart."

-Terry Tempest Williams

Questions Questions

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart, and try to love the questions themselves."

-Rainer Maria Rilke

You are the stars

"Many people feel small because they're small and the universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars. There's a level of connectivity. That's really what you want in life: you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant, you want to feel like you're a participant. … That's precisely what we are, just by being alive.”

-Neil deGrasse Tyson

Dark and Light

"Having avowed over much of Wuthering Heights, there 'broods a horror of great darkness'; that, in its storm-heated and electrical atmosphere we seem at times to breathe lightning, let me point out to those spots where clouded day-light and the eclipsed sun still attest their existence."

-Charlotte Bronte when discussing the darkness of her sister's book, Wuthering Heights

Bland is Easy

"There was a moment where I realized that playing it safe was hurting me. It’s easy to be bland and inoffensive as a brand, to not want to offend people. "

-Anni Cee Photographie
