Thomas Merton
“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image.”
Thomas Merton, The Way of Chuang Tzu

“You must dare, and dare again, and then dare a little bit more, and go on daring.”
Justin Cotillard

Kay Redfield Jamison
“So why would I want anything to do with this illness? Because I honestly believe that as a result of it I have felt more things, more deeply; had more experiences, more intensely; loved more, and been more loved; laughed more often for having cried more often; appreciated more the springs, for all the winters; worn death “as close as dungarees,” appreciated it—and life—more; seen the finest and the most terrible in people, and slowly learned the values of caring, loyalty, and seeing things through. I have seen the breadth and depth and width of my mind and heart and seen how frail they both are, and how ultimately unknowable they both are. Depressed, I have crawled on my hands and knees in order to get across a room and have done it for month after month. But, normal or manic, I have run faster, thought faster, and loved faster than most I know. And I think much of this is related to my illness—the intensity it gives to things and the perspective it forces on me.”
Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind

Kay Redfield Jamison
“It is true that I had
wanted to die , but that is peculiarly different from regretting having
been born. Overwhelmingly, I was enormously glad to have been
born, grateful for life, and I couldn’t imagine not wanting to pass on
life to someone else.”
Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness

Charles Dickens
“And O there are days in this life, worth life and worth death.”
Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend
