“Overcome anger with peace. Overcome evil with good. Overcome greed with generosity. Overcome liars with truth.”
Dhammapada, Buddhist Scriptures

Ray Bradbury
“If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.”
Ray Bradbury

Harriet Ann Jacobs
“There is something akin to freedom in having a lover who has no control over you, except that which he gains by kindness and attachment”
Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
