Kahlil Gibran
“If you reveal your secrets to the wind,
you should not blame the wind for
revealing them to the trees.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Wanderer

Jeanette Winterson
“We bury things so deep we no longer remember there was anything to bury. Our bodies remember. Our neurotic states remember. But we don't.”
Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

P.C. Cast
“In my ten years of teaching I’ve noticed that teachers tend to have a bad habit of talking to themselves. I hypothesize that this is because we talk for a living, and we feel safe speaking our feelings aloud. Or it could be that most of us, especially the high school teacher variety, are just weird as shit.”
P.C. Cast, Divine By Mistake

Stephen Chbosky
“The inside jokes weren't jokes anymore. They had become stories. Nobody brought up the bad names or the bad times. And nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia. ”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Shel Silverstein
“The Voice

There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you--just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.”
Shel Silverstein
