All his life he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed.
For after all, he was only human. He wasn’t a dog.

Charles Schulz

You are not your job, you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

Chuck Palahniuk

Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.

Napoleon Bonaparte

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome.

Derek Walcott
