I've been saving up quotes that I like, so here's a few of my favs:
"Tennessee Williams once wrote, 'We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.' In a certain sense the playwright was correct. Yes, but oh! What a view from the upstairs window!
What Tennessee failed to mention was that if we look out of that window with an itchy curiosity and a passionate eye; with a generous spirit and a capacity for delight . . . then it DOESN'T MATTER that the house is burning down around us. It doesn't matter. Let the MF blaze!" – Tom Robbins from Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates"Lie down before the door you long to go through" – Sanai
"The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking." – Albert Einstein
"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin
