Quote of the Day

"Make up your mind to be happy -- even when you don't have money, even when you don't have a clear complexion, even when you don't have the Nobel Prize. Some of the happiest people I know have none of these things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy. Why are they happy? I suppose it is because they don't listen well. Or they listen too well -- to the things their hearts tell them. They glory in the beauty of the earth. They glory in the rivers and the canyons and the call of the lowlark. They glory in the love of their families, the stumbling steps of a toddler, the wise and tender smile of the elderly. They glory in honest labor. They glory in the scriptures. They glory in the presence of the Holy Ghost. One thing I know for certain: the time we have here goes by far too quickly. Don't waste any more time sitting on the bench watching life pass you by."
- Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Lessons Learned in the Journey of Life," Ensign (May 2001)

Quote of the Day

"N'écris pas. N'apprenons qu'à mourir à nous-mêmes.
Ne demande qu'à Dieu . . . qu'à toi, si je t'aimais!
Au fond de ton absence écouter que tu m'aimes,
C'est entendre le ciel sans y monter jamais."
- Louis Simpson, "Les Separes"

Quote of the Day

"There is no substitute for envelopes marked with your location, sheets of stationery with your script scratching across parallel lines, feeling the back of the paper and an embossed pattern in the shape of every character formed (because maybe, like me, you press down with your pen, every letter a deliberate creation), the smell of your house on the paper itself."
-Marissa Falco, Red-Hooded Sweatshirt #3

- Winnie the Pooh

Quote of the Day

"Because I live in a world that hates women and I am one...who is struggling desperately not to hate myself and my best girlfriends, my whole life is constantly felt, by me, as a contradiction. In order for me to exist, I must believe that two contradictory things can exist in the same space."
- Kathleen Hanna, "Jigsaw Youth," Jigsaw #4
