“A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.” ~Ingrid Bergman
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.” ~Marianne Williamson, A Return To Love
“Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have NO choice but to believe with you.” ~Cynthia Kersey
“The vision that you glorify in your
mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart, this you will build
your life by, and this you will become.” ~James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
“Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come.” ~Joseph F. Smith
“The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.” ~Steven Furtick
“The best time for planning a book is while you’re doing the dishes.” ~Agatha Christie
“Never be frightened by those you assume have more talent than you do, because in the end energy will prevail. My formula is: energy plus talent and you are a king; energy and no talent and you are still a prince; talent and no energy and you are a pauper.” ~Jeffrey Archer
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
~Leonardo da Vinci
“All men dream but not equally. Those who
dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to
find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.” ~T.E. Lawrence
“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him...
a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create—so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.” ~Pearl S. Buck

“When you are describing
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things
With a sort of mental squint.”
~Lewis Carroll
