“Don't be fooled by my quiet exterior. It hides a wild mind and passionate heart.”
― John Mark Green

“And something else. The multiple choices and possibilities of daily life are the music we dance to. They are like strings on a guitar.”
― Stephen King, 11/22/63

“But what I know from personal experience is that the more you invest in optimizing your health, the easier it gets. The easier it gets, the less you need a mentor to motivate you. You become your own hero in your own Unbreakable life story. You know what to do and you do it.”
― Vonda Wright M.D.

“Each one is a small life, but sometimes long, if its
place in the universe is not found out. Like us, they
have a heart and a stomach; they know hunger, and
probably a little satisfaction too. Do not mock them
for their gentleness, they have a muscle that loves
being alive. They pull away from the light. They pull
down. They hold themselves together. They refuse to
open.

But sometimes they lose their place and are tumbled
shoreward in a storm. Then they pant, they fill
with sand, they have no choice but must open the
smallest crack. Then the fire of the world touches
them. Perhaps, on such days, they too begin the
terrible effort of thinking, of wondering who, and
what, and why. If they can bury themselves again in
the sand they will. If not, they are sure to perish,
though not quickly. They also have resources beyond
the flesh; they also try very hard not to die.

"Clam”
