Richelle E. Goodrich
“There are people who are never content, never appeased, forever dissatisfied—who continually look to what escapes them, convincing themselves that if only they could attain that one desire outside of reach they would be happy.  It seems almost pointless to give to these people because their eyes immediately shift from the gift to stare miserably at the portion held back.  Their wants, demands, expectations, appetites are never satiated, thus they refuse to be happy.  And you cannot make them so.”
Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, & Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

فرج فودة
“عليهم أن يجاهدوا في نفوسهم هوى السلطة و زينة مقاعد الحكم، و أن يجتهدوا قبل أن يجهدوا الآخرين بحلم لا غناء فيه، و أن يفكروا قبل أن يكفّروا، و أن يواجهوا مشاكل المجتمع بالحل لا بالهجرة، و أن يقتصدوا في دعوى الجاهلية حتى لا تقترن بالجهل، و أن يعلموا أن الإسلام أعز من أن يهينوه بتصور المصادمة مع العصر، و أن الوطن أعز من أن يهدموا وحدته بدعاوى التعصب، و أن المستقبل يصنعه القلم لا السواك، و العمل لا الاعتزال، و العقل لا الدروشة، و المنطق لا الرصاص، و الأهم من ذلك كله أن يدركوا حقيقة غائبة عنهم، و هي أنهم ليسوا وحدهم..جماعة المسلمين”
فرج فودة, الحقيقة الغائبة

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
Marilyn Monroe

“The day I understood everything, was the day I stopped trying to figure everything out. The day I knew peace was the day I let everything go.”
C. JoyBell C.

Myles Horton
“I feel that all knowledge should be in the free-trade zone. Your knowledge, my knowledge, everybody's knowledge should be made use of. I think people who refuse to use other people's knowledge are making a big mistake. Those who refuse to share their knowledge with other people are making a great mistake, because we need it all. I don't have any problem about ideas I got from other people. If I find them useful, I'll just ease them right in and make them my own.”
Myles Horton, We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change
