“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

~ C.S. Lewis   

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
   don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
   he's the one who will keep you on track.

Proverbs 3:5,6 - The Message

If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.

~ Henry Elliot

A man in passion rides a horse that runs away with him.

~ Thomas Fuller

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

On ruins one can begin to build. Anyhow, looking out from ruins one clearly sees; there are no obstructing walls.

~ Rose Macaulay

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

 ~ Albert Einstein

Certain modes of
life, certain rules of conduct are more conducive to inner
and outer harmony than others. Simplification of life is one of
them.
~ Ann Morrow Lindbergh

A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world. 

~ John Le Carre

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. 

~ Edith Wharton

I never give anybody hell. I just tell them the truth, and they thought it was hell. 

 ~ Harry S. Truman

Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principle one was that they escaped teething. 

~ Mark Twain, Pudd’nhead Wilson, 1894

An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

~ Basho

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

~ Gilda Radner
