“We're given a choice in our lives, to make things better, or worse, or merely endure like sheep. I choose to make things better, as much as I can.”
― Mercedes Lackey, Fortune's Fool

“One person can make a difference, and every person should try.”

“Art means to be oblivious to the fact that the world already exists and to create one.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters on Life: New Prose Translations

“Manipulating or controlling others through the use of one's illness or suffering,for example,was-and remains-extremely effective for people who find they cannot be direct in their interactions,Who argues with someone who is in pain? And if pain is the only power a person has,health is not an attractive replacement. It was apparent to me that becoming healthy represented more than just getting over an illness. Health represented a complex progression into a state of personal empowerment in which one had to move from a condition of vulnerability to one of invincibility,from victim to victor,from silent bystander to aggressive defender of personal boundaries.Completing this race to the finish was a yeoman's task if ever there was one.Indeed,in opening the psyche and soul to the healing process,we had expanded the journey of wellness into one of personal transformation."
