Herman Melville

The earth has music for those who listen.

George Santayana

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

E.E. Cummings

Real Courage

It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.

Harper Lee

Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.

George Orwell
