It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.

Charles Darwin

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods / there is a rapture on the lonely shore / there is society where none intrudes / by the deep sea and music in its roar/ I love not man the less, but nature more.

Lord Byron

Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Sarah Williams

Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable is manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.

Mr. Rogers

Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That’s the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

Rabbi Tarfon

What is human existence? It turns out it’s pretty simple: We are dead stars, looking back up at the sky.

Michelle Thraller

Simplifying life would not mean a ‘relapse into barbarism’, for culture is not dependent upon luxury or upon the gratification of needlessly created wants.

Otto Strasser

Maybe that’s enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind; no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom… is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.

Anthony Bourdain

Push back against the age as hard as it pushes against you.

Flannery O’Conner
