"So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or

the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of

Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at

the front desks of our public libraries."

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own

insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable

violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you.

To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair.

To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is

simple.

To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try

and

understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget.”

Patara Qalo means small woman. It is about a man who loves a small woman who doesn't love him back. Sad, but a very beautiful song.

‎"There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our

attention: victims of hunger, of racism and political

persecution... human rights are being violated on every

continent. More people are oppressed than free. How can one

not be sensitive to their plight? Human suffering anywhere

concerns men and women everywhere."

“Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the

dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps

you know the silence when you haven’t the answer to a

question you’ve been asked, or the hush of a country road at

night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when

someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the

moment after the door closes and you’re alone in the whole

house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful

if you listen carefully.”

“Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.

So, love the people who treat you right and forget about the

ones who don’t.

And believe that everything happens for a reason.

If you get a chance, take it; if it changes your life, let it.

“I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do.

I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether

it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will

try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I

can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms

I allow myself to

use — silence, exile and cunning.” ~James Joyce

who does not believe me naive or innocent,

who has the courage to treat me like a woman."

“A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction

and at such a speed...

It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now.

But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all

clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high

enough to see beyond horizons.”

-Richard Bach

"There is no pain.

Just atoms becoming humans and picnics, lovers and stars.

And then something else. And sometimes it feels

if the wind blew too hard, it'd take us all with it. You don't

have to close your eyes. There is no pain. Just atoms

becoming the blood that pumps through your heart and the

knot in your throat, the clouds above us and air

inside

your lungs. There's nothing to cry about. There is no pain.

Just the light from distant suns and flocks of birds.

The

sensation of time passing. Waves against the sky. Those

shudders that run through your body, aren't there.

Your nose isn't blocked. There is no pain."

“I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want

the heavens

or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have

those things already. I want…a steady hand.

A kind soul. I want

to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to

love, and be loved.”

"Most people don’t know what they want or feel.

And for everyone, myself included, it’s very difficult

to say what you mean when what you mean is painful.

The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself,

to express what you have to… As an artist, I feel that we must

try many things - but above all, we must dare to fail. You must

have the courage to be bad - to be willing to risk everything to

really express it all."

When I tell you I'll meet you at the door. And you tell me you're sorry. That I have no reason left to worry.

When I am more than you can take, just give me back."
