"A painter thinks, 'I can't fix the whole planet, but I can at least make this square of canvas what it ought to be.' And a sculptor thinks the same about a lump of clay or marble. A writer thinks the same about a piece of paper, conventionally eleven inches long and eight and a half inches wide. I suggest you set as your goal the putting of some small part of the planet into something like safe and sane and decent order."
Kurt Vonnegut
"We live in a society where a superficial definition of strength often takes the cake. Those who are physically strong, emotionally unfeeling, distanced, and stoic are often seen as the mightiest. Those who are vulnerable, feeling—dare I say human—are often seen as weak."

"What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things."

"Cynics are only happy in making the world as barren for others as they have made it for themselves."
George Meredith
"Watch what people are cynical about and one can often discover what they lack."
George S. Patton
"An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture, whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist, however, is one who sees the light and the shadows but, in addition, sees something else; the possibility of changing the picture, of making the lights prevail over the shadows."
Felix Adler
"Don’t leave this world without making it a little more beautiful than you found it when you came into it. "

“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”

“The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.”
