Mae West
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
Mae West

Douglas Adams
“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
Narcotics Anonymous

Kristen Howerton
“There is nothing threatening about acknowledging privilege. Being more empathetic to the experiences of others is not a sacrifice of personal politics or lifestyle. Feelings of guilt about white privilege should occur only if, because you don’t experience racism, you decide you don’t have to listen or care when other people do, or because you refuse to give up privileges that you keep at the expense of others.”
Kristen Howerton, Rage Against the Minivan: Learning to Parent Without Perfection

Mahatma Gandhi
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
Mahatma Gandhi
