dear parents,

your children need your love.

from, a heartbroken teacher.

aristotle
the difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
mark twain
do you wish men to speak well of you? then never speak well of yourself.
blaise pascal, french mathematician and philosopher
the mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.
frank herbert’s novel dune

ralph waldo emerson
chin up. put your shoulders back, walk proud, strut a little. don’t lick your wounds; celebrate them. the scars you bear are the signs of a competitor. you’re in a lion fight. just because you didn’t win doesn’t mean you don’t know how to roar.
grey’s anatomy
people are going to disappoint you, i get that. i kind of expect that, but I don’t know. what if you wake up one day and realize that you’re the disappointment?
