    Henri J.M. Nouwen
    “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
    Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life

    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
    Rainer Maria Rilke

    Rainer Maria Rilke

    Emily Dickinson
    “I'm nobody! Who are you?
    Are you nobody, too?
    Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
    They ’d banish us, you know.

    How dreary to be somebody!
    How public, like a frog
    To tell your name the livelong day
    To an admiring bog!”
    Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

    Emily Dickinson
    “Hope is the thing with feathers
    That perches in the soul
    And sings the tune without the words
    And never stops at all.”
    Emily Dickinson

  • #6
    Emily Dickinson
    “How happy is the little stone
    That rambles in the road alone,
    And doesn't care about careers,
    And exigencies never fears;
    Whose coat of elemental brown
    A passing universe put on;
    And independent as the sun,
    Associates or glows alone,
    Fulfilling absolute decree
    In casual simplicity.”
    Emily Dickinson

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
    “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

    “The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”
    Albert Einstein

  • #11
    “Someone once told me his idea for surviving a crash of civilization was to be a lone wolf, heading for the hills, with his rifle and knife, living off the land. "Nowadays, I'm more interested in staying behind and helping others," he said, "like after Hurricane Katrina. Coming together and rebuilding something that can last."

    "How about BEFORE a disaster?" I asked.

    "Even better.”
    Michael Carter, Kingfisher's Song: Memories Against Civilization

    “I close my eyes, and this image floats beside me.
    A sweaty toothed mad man with a stare that pounds my brain.
    His hands reach out and choke me, and all the time he's mumbling.
    “Truth, truth.”
    Like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold.
    You push it, stretch it, but it'll never be enough.
    You kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover any of us.
    From the moment we enter crying,
    to the moment we leave dying,
    it'll just cover your face,
    as you wail and cry and scream.”
    Tom Schulman, Dead Poets Society

    Arthur Conan Doyle
    “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes

  • #14
    Arthur Conan Doyle
    “Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”
    Arthur Conan Doyle, The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

    “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.”

    Robert Louis Stevenson
    “In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.”
    Robert Louis Stevenson

    Robert Louis Stevenson
    “With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two.”
    Robert Louis Stevenson, L'estrany cas del Dr. Jekyll i Mr. Hyde

  • #19
    Robert Louis Stevenson
    “The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain common work as it comes certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life.”
    Robert Louis Stevenson

    Franz Kafka

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
    and rightdoing there is a field.
    I'll meet you there.

    When the soul lies down in that grass
    the world is too full to talk about.”
    Rumi
