No kindness, however small, is ever wasted.-Aesop
It’s all about levels of fear and self-esteem. If you’re afraid of life, if you’re afraid of your own power then you’ll always give somebody else the reins. Somebody else will be making the decisions about the direction of your life and the things that you do, but if you have self-esteem and self-approval, then the last thing you want is to yield to somebody else’s power.

Reading e.e.cummings today, and there are so many wonderful quotes. Two, for a start:
1)"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."
2)"Unbeing dead isn't being alive."
And one poem:
“To be nobody but
yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”
I've lived by that one since I first read it in the seventh grade. What the hell--I just let my freak flag fly

“Books can not be killed by fire. People die, but books never die. No man and no force can abolish memory... In this war, we know, books are weapons. And it is a part of your dedication always to make them weapons for man's freedom.”
