Grace Chong

“We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

“The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.”
― Gustave Flaubert

“A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near,
A little gift from one held dear,
Best wishes for the coming year.

These make a merry christmas!”
― John Greenleaf Whittier

“Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.”
― Dale Carnegie
