Amanda Palmer
“There’s a difference between wanting to be looked at and wanting to be seen.

When you are looked at, your eyes can be closed. You suck energy, you steal the spotlight. When you are seen, your eyes must be open, and you are seeing and recognizing your witness. You accept energy and you generate energy. You create light.

One is exhibitionism, the other is connection.

Not everybody wants to be looked at.

Everybody wants to be seen.”
Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

Jennifer Chiaverini
“Hope is never false. One's hopes may not be fulfilled, but that doesn't not mean it was wrong to hope”
Jennifer Chiaverini, The Spymistress

Charles Dickens
“We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices.”
Charles Dickens

Amanda Palmer
“From what I've seen, it isn't so much the act of asking that paralyzes us--it's what lies beneath: the fear of being vulnerable, the fear of rejection, the fear of looking needy or weak. The fear of being seen as a burdensome member of the community instead of a productive one.

It points, fundamentally, to our separation from one another.”
Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Let People Help

Maya Angelou
“I took out my first library card...I spent most of my Saturdays at the library (no interruptions) breathing in the world of penniless shoeshine boys who, with goodness and perseverance, became rich, rich men, and gave baskets of goodies to the poor on holidays. The little princesses who were mistaken for maids, and the long-lost children mistaken for waifs, became more real to me than our house, our mother, our school or Mr. Freeman.”
Maya Angelou
