    Michael Ondaatje
    “She had always wanted words, she loved them; grew up on them. Words gave her clarity, brought reason, shape.”
    Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

  • #2
    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? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
    Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

    Joss Whedon

  • #4
    “In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the slayer.”
    Joss Whedon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

  • #5
    “Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #6
    “Recognizing power in another does not diminish your own.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #7
    “Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #8
    “Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #9
    “I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of. ”
    Joss Whedon

  • #10
    “The thing about a hero, is even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep digging, he's going to keep trying to do right and make up for what's gone before, just because that's who he is.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #11
    “Don’t give people what they want, give them what they need.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #12
    If you can't do something smart, do something right.
    “If you can't do something smart, do something right.”
    Joss Whedon, Serenity

  • #13
    “Faith in God means believing absolutely in something with no proof whatsoever. Faith in humanity means believing absolutely in something with a huge amount of proof to the contrary. We are the true believers.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #14
    “I'd rather make a show 100 people need to see, than a show that 1000 people want to see.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #15
    You can't take the sky from me.
    “You can't take the sky from me.”
    Joss Whedon

  • #16
    “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch but on its own wings.”
    Charlie Wardle, Understanding & Building Confidence

    “You're both the fire and the water that extinguishes it. You're the narrator, the protagonist, and the sidekick. You're the storyteller and the story told. You are somebody's something, but you are also your you.”
    John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

  • #19

    Kate DiCamillo, The Tale of Despereaux

  • #23
    Steve Goodier
    “When I’ve lost my way or when I am confused about a path to take, I remember that most answers I need I already possess – deep inside. I am naturally creative, resourceful and whole. If I consult my invisible compass, I’ll know what to do.”
    Steve Goodier

    John Green
