Quote of the Day

"The words were on their way, and when they arrived, she would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like the rain."

- Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Quote of the Day

"The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned."

- Maya Angelou

Quote of the Day

"Never be in a hurry. Do everything in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything, even if your whole world seems upset."

- St. Francis de Sales

Quote of the Day

"Women matter. Women are half of us. When you raise every woman to believe that we are insignificant, that we are broken, that we are sick, that the only cure is starvation and restraint and smallness; when you pit women against one another, obsessing over our flaws rather than our power and potential...It steers humanity toward conservatism and walls and the narrow interests of men, and it keeps us adrift in waters where women's safety and humanity are secondary to men's pleasure and convenience."

- Lindy West, Shrill

Quote of the Day

"You just hum along

For fear of getting the words wrong"

- Django Jones, "All That I See"

"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature."

- Jane Austen 

Quote of the Day

"I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company."

- Henry Miller

Quote of the Day

"May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears."

Quote of the Day

"I could blame somebody else for my heart 

For the part that's broken

I could blame somebody else for my heart

But I kept that spoken"

- The Weepies, "Does Not Bear Repeating"

Quote of the Day

"In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another...the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting -- any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, 'Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,' can truly say to every group of Christian friends, 'Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.' The friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others."

- C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Quote of the Day

"I take some small comfort in still being able to be horrified and brought to tears."

Quote of the Day

"I didn't read what they said because I don't like to spoil my own point of view by learning what other people think."

Quote of the Day

"For a long time they looked at the river beneath them, saying nothing, and the river said nothing too, for it felt very quiet and peaceful on this summer afternoon."

- A. A. Milne

Quote of the Day

"Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking and loving and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes on a new and deeper meaning."

- Elie Wiesel

Quote of the Day

"The knowledge that she would never be loved in return acted upon her ideas as a tide acts upon cliffs."

- Thornton Wilder
