    Frank Herbert
    “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
    Frank Herbert, Dune

  • #2
    “The moon is a loyal companion.
    It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
    Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

  • #3
    Ming-Dao Deng
    “The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.”
    Deng Ming-Dao, Everyday Tao: Living with Balance and Harmony

  • #4
    Anaïs Nin
    “We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
    Anais Nin

  • #5
    Marilynne Robinson
    “Imagine a Carthage sown with salt, and all the sowers gone, and the seeds lain however long in the earth, till there rose finally in vegetable profusion leaves and trees of rime and brine. What flowering would there be in such a garden? Light would force each salt calyx to open in prisms, and to fruit heavily with bright globes of water–-peaches and grapes are little more than that, and where the world was salt there would be greater need of slaking. For need can blossom into all the compensations it requires. To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know any thing so utterly as when we lack it? And here again is a foreshadowing–-the world will be made whole. For to wish for a hand on one’s hair is all but to feel it. So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again.”
    Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping

  • #6
    Benjamin Alire Sáenz
    “I renamed myself Ari.

    If I switched the letter, my name was Air.

    I thought it might be a great thing to be the air.

    I could be something and nothing at the same time. I could be necessary and also invisible. Everyone would need me and no one would be able to see me.”
    Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

  • #7
    Maggie Stiefvater
    “Being Adam Parrish was a complicated thing, a wonder of muscles and organs, synapses and nerves. He was a miracle of moving parts, a study in survival. The most important thing to Adam Parrish, though, had always been free will, the ability to be his own master.
    This was the important thing.
    It had always been the important thing.
    This was what it was to be Adam.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

  • #8
    Warsan Shire
    “I belong deeply to myself.”
    Warsan Shire, Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth

  • #9
    Maggie Stiefvater
    “Above him, the stars were brutal and clear.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

  • #10
    Alfred Tennyson
    “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.”
    Alfred Tennyson

  • #11
    Albert Camus
    “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
    Albert Camus

  • #12
    Albert Camus
    “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
    Albert Camus

  • #13
    Sanober  Khan
    “even
    in the loneliest moments

    i have been there
    for myself.”
    Sanober Khan

    Toni Morrison
    “Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”
    Toni Morrison, Beloved

  • #15
    “Everything is within your power,
    and your power is within you.”
    Janice Trachtman, Catching What Life Throws at You: Inspiring True Stories of Healing

  • #16
    Marianne Williamson
    “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”
    Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

  • #17

    Anthon St. Maarten
    “You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.”
    Anthon St. Maarten, Divine Living: The Essential Guide To Your True Destiny

  • #19
    Steve Maraboli
    “You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously.”

    Homer, The Iliad
