“When you say Yes to others, make sure you are not saying No to yourself.” —Paulo Coelho
“You can never feel lonely when you like the person you’re alone with.“ —Wayne Dyer

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” ―Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night
"I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center." ―Kurt Vonnegut

Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is -- whether its victim is human or animal -- we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing, we set back the progress of humanity. ― Rachel Carson
Holding hands is a promise to one another that, for just a moment, the two of you don't have to face the world alone. –Unknown
