“I better stop thinking in this manner, or before I know where I am I'll be bursting into tears, and it's a nice thing getting homesick before you even leave a place at all, so it is.”
― Walter Macken

“Dear ignorance, I’m disowning you.
Dear knowledge, I’m wooing you.
Dear understanding, I’m seeking you.
Dear wisdom, I’m wedding you.

Dear fear, I’m divorcing you.
Dear courage, I’m courting you.
Dear hope, I’m pursuing you.
Dear love, I’m marrying you.

Dear past, I survived you.
Dear present, I’m ready for you.
Dear future, I’m longing for you.
Dear destiny, I’m coming for you.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light.”

“The bridge will only take you halfway there, to those mysterious lands you long to see. Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fair, and moonlit woods where unicorns run free. So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone.”
― Shel Silverstein
