Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it. Niels Bohr quotes We want the facts to fit the preconceptions. When they don't, it is easier to ignore the facts than to change the preconceptions. Jessamyn West quotes There is nothing like returning to a place that reminds unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. Nelson Mandela quotes I write constantly, but only in my journals. I have three of them: one for travel, one for home, and one I write in before bed. But the last thing I want is other people reading it..... What's really fun is reading your journal, like a year later, or even a month, and realizing how much you've changed. You're looking at something you said, something you really meant at the time, and you're like, 'I can't believe I ever really believed that! I am such an asshole!' I think that's the greatest thing about growing up... . Cameron Diaz quotes God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Reinhold Niebuhr quotes Love anything and your heart will be wrung and 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 and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up save in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable. C.S. Lewis quotes Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead quotes The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it Marcus Aurelius quotes You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi quotes I do not believe in an afterlife, although I am bringing a change of underwear. Woody Allen quotes |
