Carl Sagan
“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
Carl Sagan

Arne Garborg
“To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.”
Arne Garborg

Maya Angelou
“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Barbara Lieberman
“That is what chronic illness is . . . a disconnect between what our souls can do and what our bodies can do.”
Barbara Lieberman, The Unchained Spirit: Or, the glass is half-full but I've forgotten where I put it
