“You are the only person I can talk with about the shade of a cloud, about the song of a thought — and about how, when I went out to work today and looked a tall sunflower in the face, it smiled at me with all of its seeds.”
from the love letters written by Vladimir Nabokov to his wife – year of 1923
“And when the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of a storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what the storm is about”

You don’t have to feel brave to be brave
And I don’t have to feel strong to be strong
We don’t have to feel inspiring to inspire
Remember when your road is rough and long
Even a small star shines in the darkness
For someone somewhere to see
It lights the way for those in the distance
That’s what your courage means to me
Maybe there are times you feel lonely
Like no one sees the world the you do
Remember each of us is made uniquely,
And no one ever sees their own magnitude.
So don’t be afraid to be a little brilliant
Don’t be afraid to shine in someone’s eyes
If we can trust the gifts that sometimes make us different
Then we can all learn to shine, shine shine!
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
Gandhi
“The true measure of a man is not what he dreams, but what he aspires to be; a dream is nothing without action. Whether one fails or succeeds is irrelevant; all that matters is that there was motion in his life. That alone affects the world.”
Mike Norton

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
Paulo Coelho
