Jackson Burnett
“Justice isn’t about fixing the past; it’s about healing the past's future.”
Jackson Burnett

Robert Louis Stevenson
“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.”
Robert Louis Stevenson

David Walliams
“All you can do in this life is follow your dreams. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.”
David Walliams, Gangsta Granny

Jackson Burnett
“A thousand years from now nobody is
going to know that you or I ever lived. The cynic is
right, but lazy. He says ‘You live, you die and nothing you do will ever make a difference.’ But as long as I live, I’m going to be like Beethoven and shake my fist at fate and try to do something for those who live here now and who knows how far into the future that will go. If I accomplish nothing more than making my arm sore, at least I will be satisfied that I have lived.”
Jackson Burnett, The Past Never Ends

Oscar Wilde
“LORD ILLINGWORTH: The soul is born old but grows young. That is the comedy of life.
MRS ALLONBY: And the body is born young and grows old. That is life's tragedy.”
Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance
