-Simone Weil
The poet's job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name, to tell the truth in such a beautiful way, that people cannot live without it.
-Jane Kenyon

Ignorance is ultimately the worst enemy of a people who want to be free.
-Jonathan Hennessey
Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
There is no sense of ease like the ease we felt in those scenes where we were born, where objects became dear to us before we had known the labour of choice.
-George Eliot
