here's a few from my favorite author:

"The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. "

"It's never too late to have a happy childhood."

Tom Robbins- Still Life With Woodpecker


"It was the greatest of the imperfect ventriloquist acts: when his lips moved, her body sang."

this is also Tom, but I'm unsure which book it's from...

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Life is good. To be more precise, the concept of 'good' comes only from the goal-directed values held by living things."
-- Teller

Brute force, no matter how strongly applied, can never subdue the basic human desire for freedom and dignity. It is not enough, as communist systems have assumed, merely to provide people with food, shelter and clothing. Human nature needs to breathe the precious air of liberty.

-His Holiness the Dalai Lama

My teaching does not require anyone to become homeless or resign the world unless he wants to, but it does require everyone to free himself from the illusion that he is a permanent self and to act with integrity while giving up his craving for pleasure.

-Majjhima Nikaya
