Unless
someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going
to get better.
It’s not.
-Dr Suess, The Lorax-
Even if
I’m dying,
until I actually die,
I am still living.
-Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air-
Have I gone mad?
I’m afraid so,
but let me
tell you something,
the best people
usually are.
-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland-
That’s the thing
about pain.
It demands
to be felt.
-John Green, The Fault in Our Stars-
Why are you so cold?
Is it snowing in you?
Dissolve that
to become great.
The life’s little sorrows
you take too seriously.
-Rumi-
When
you do things
from your soul,
You feel a river
moving in you,
a joy.
-Rumi-
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost-
Nature
holds the key to
our aesthetic, intellectual,
cognitive and even
spiritual satisfaction.
-E.O. Wilson-
Kindness is
the language
which the deaf
can hear
and the blind
can see.
-Mark Twain-
