“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
Anaïs Nin
“All you have to know is everything is created from thought, you don’t have to know anything else.”
Sydney Banks
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach.
