Nobody sees a flower- really- it is so small it takes time- we haven't time- and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.

Georgia O-Keeffe

To be nobody- but yourself- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.

ee cummings

Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music- the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Henry Miller

Well behaved women rarely make history.

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive: to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Marcus Aurelius
