Two thoughts of my own, which I wrote down for their amazing profundity:
Being home is really something of a sacrifice, yet it’s a blessing at the same time, as sacrifices usually are. – Personal observation
I had to first accept my own voice as a writer, that I am not Pavrotti with a pen, or Gabriel Garcia Marquez, or Alice Munro or Jhumpa Lahiri – but it is my voice. It is how I write. Whether or not others like it, it is my authentic voice. – Personal observation
Regarding international politics:
Weakness is a provocation. – heard quoted from unknown source by Mark Steyn on the Rush Limbaugh Show 11-6-2009
Mind-boggling quotes:
For one must first know one is in prison in order to work intelligently to escape. - Philip Novak
Strength does not come from phsycial capacity – it comes from an indomitable will. – Mohatma Ghandi
I have always imagined Paradise will be a kind of library - Jorge Luis Borges
Some quotes pulled from J.K. Rowling's commencement speech at Harvard in 2008 (discovered on TED.com, a fantastics site for learning just about anything!):
As is a tale, so is life – not how long but how good – that is what matters. – Seneca
Rock bottom became the firm foundation on which I rebuilt my life. – J.K. Rowling
On abortion:
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.- Mother Teresa
Other quotes from Mother Teresa:
Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world.
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving.
