“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” -Audrey Hepburn	"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." -E.E. Cummings	“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” - Rainer Maria Rilke
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." -St. Augustine	"We have a sense that the world is not the way it ought to be. We have a sense that we are very flawed and yet very great. We have a longing for love and beauty that nothing in this world can fulfill. We have a deep need to know meaning and purpose. Which worldview best accounts for these things?" -Tim Keller	"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything & your heart will be wrung & possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies & little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the..coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless..it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable.. irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." -C.S. Lewis
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive and it is only by this meeting until a new world is born." Anais Nin	“Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue” - Anne Lamott	"The world is but a canvas to our imagination." -Henry David Thoreau
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." -Helen Keller	"There is art to living that is far above the base of human instinct of survival. I want to live beautifully." -Jennie Allen	"If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?" -Hobbes
"My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return." -Maya Angelou	"The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea." -Isak Dinesen	"Faith is the substance [assurance] of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." -Hebrews
“I could not quiet that pearly ache in my heart that I diagnosed as the cry of home.” -Pat Conroy	"The unexamined life is not worth living." -Socrates	“I could not have known then that everybody, every person, has to leave, has to change like seasons; they have to or they die. The seasons remind me that I must keep changing.” -Donald Miller
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." -Plato	"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." -Thomas Merton
