Margaret Atwood
“You can forget who you are if you're alone too much.”
Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood

Shel Silverstein
“Whatever you are is all okay.
I don't like you anyway.”
Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It

C. Toni Graham
“Toni's Talk: When you invest in yourself, you have instant credibility with your biggest critic...you! As soon as you let doubt creep in---you lose that investment. Make a daily commitment to assess your worth with positive affirmations and watch your investment grow.”
C.Toni Graham

Richard  Polak
“What is it that inspires you? What do you love to do? What would you do for free? At the beginning of my busi-ness career, my why was to become a millionaire, not a good why! And why not? Because that is an aspiration rather than a why. Aspirations, I have found, won’t fuel me when the going gets tough. But a true “why” will.”
Richard Polak

Markus Zusak
“She looks at the swings, and I can see she’s imagining what they’d look like if the kids weren’t there. The guilt of this holds her down momentarily. It appears to be there constantly. Never far away, despite her love for them.

I realize that nothing belongs to her anymore and she belongs to everything.”
Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger
