Joan Baez
“You don't get to choose
how you're going to die.
Or when.

You can only decide
how you're going to live.
Now.

Joan Baez

Ray Bradbury
“I don't talk things, sir. I talk the meaning of things.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

Mark Twain
“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
Mark Twain

Gloria Steinem
“so whatever you want to do, just do it...Making a damn fool of yourself is absolutely essential.”
Gloria Steinem

Ray Bradbury
“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
