Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

Sherry Thomas

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“My life is not an apology, but a life. It is for itself and not for a spectacle. I much prefer that it should be of a lower strain, so it be genuine and equal, than that it should be glittering and unsteady.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance: An Excerpt from Collected Essays, First Series

Helen Keller

Helen Keller
