    Thomas J. Watson Jr.

    Max Ehrmann
    “Beyond a wholesome discipline,
    be gentle with yourself.
    You are a child of the universe,
    no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here.
    And whether or not it is clear to you,
    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore be at peace with God,
    whatever you conceive Him to be,
    and whatever your labors and aspirations,
    in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
    it is still a beautiful world.
    Be cheerful.
    Strive to be happy.”
    ― Max Ehrmann

    Anne Carson
    “To feel anything
    deranges you. To be seen
    feeling anything strips you
    naked. In the grip of it
    pleasure or pain doesn’t
    matter. You think what
    will they do what new
    power will they acquire if
    they see me naked like
    this.     If they see you
    feeling. You have no idea
    what. It’s not about them.
    To be seen is the penalty.”
