Charles de Lint
“It's my diary", she'd explained. "Every mark I've had drawn on my skin connects me to where and who I've been- so I never forget who I am and how I got here."There was humour in the smile she offered him. "And you know what the real beauty of it is?"
Hank had shaken his head.
"Nobody can take it away.”
Charles de Lint, Someplace to Be Flying

Alain de Botton
“Anyone who isn't embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn't learning enough.”
Alain de Botton

Dr. Seuss
“Kid, you'll move mountains.”
Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

David Rakoff
“No secrets, no longing, no desperate hoping
Just reach out and grab from a world cracked open.”
David Rakoff, Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish

David Rakoff
“Is there some lesson on how to be friends?
I think what it means is that central to living
A life that is good is a life that's forgiving.
We're creatures of contact, regardless of whether
to kiss or to wound, we still must come together.
Like in Annie Hall, we endure twists and torsions
For food we don't like, and in such tiny portions!
But, like hating a food but still asking for more
It beats staying dry but so lonely on shore.
So we make ourselves open, while knowing full well
It's essentially saying, 'Please, come pierce my shell.”
David Rakoff, Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish
