G.K. Chesterton
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
G.K. Chesterton

James Baldwin
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
James Baldwin

Ellen Bass
“to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you've held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.”
Ellen Bass

Tennessee Williams
“Time is the longest distance between two places.”
Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie

“I am not afraid of tomorrow
for I have seen yesterday
and I love today”
William Allen White
