Ray Bradbury
“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them.”
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

Eugene H. Peterson
“When we sin and mess up our lives, we find that God doesn't go off and leave us- he enters into our trouble and saves us.”
Eugene Peterson

George Orwell
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
George Orwell

J.R.R. Tolkien
“There are some things that it is better to begin than to refuse, even though the end may be dark.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“birthdays need to be celebrated. i think it is more important to celebrate a birthday than a successful exam or promotion or a victory. because to celebrate a birthday means to say to someone "thank you for being you".”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Here and Now: Living in the Spirit
