“To live content with small means.

To seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion.

To be worthy not respectable,
and wealthy not rich.

To study hard, think quietly, talk gently,
act frankly, to listen to stars, birds, babes,
and sages with open heart, to bear all
cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions,
hurry never.

In a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common.

This is to be my symphony.”
― William Henry Channing

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”

“It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”
― Oscar Wilde
