“Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. ”---William S. Burroughs
“You’re no different. You came into this world as an answer to a prayer, a solution to a need. If there was no need for you, you never would’ve shown up. The fact that you were born is the guarantee that you have a reason for being here. There’s something you came to give — a gift, a talent, a message, a meaning. The world needs you to be you.”
― Derek Rydall, Emergence: The End of Self Improvement
“Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.”
― Henry Miller
"Just as when we come into the world, when we die we are afraid of the unknown. But the fear is something from within us that has nothing to do with reality. Dying is like being born: just a change." ~Isabel Allende

"Consider this: At any given time, some 75 trillion cells are doing their thing in your body. But they are constantly dying and being replaced by new ones, such that in less than two years you won't have a single cell you have today. Yet you remain you. How is this possible? Even though each of your cells contains your entire genome, you would hardly say that any one of your cells constitutes you. But taken together they amount to you."---https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3410/03-ever-10.html
“There's something nice about the silence of a car ride in the dark, going home. When you were tired of the radio and conversation, and it was okay to just be alone with your thoughts and the road ahead. If you're that comfortable with someone, you don't have to talk.”
― Sarah Dessen, What Happened to Goodbye
"I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom."
-- Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“On soft Spring nights I'll stand in the yard under the stars - Something good will come out of all things yet - And it will be golden and eternal just like that -There's no need to say another word.” - Jack Kerouac
