Self pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality. John Gardner
Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent. Be careful that you do not let other people spend it for you. Carl Sandburg
The willingness to reach inside every part of yourself opens the door to total understanding. You place your entire identity on the line, not just an isolated part.

That's my dream of the American future. Like most such dreams, it will probably come true. That is why I'm still an optimist. Edward Abbey
That's most interesting. But I was no more a mind-reader then than today. Iwas weeping for an altogether different reason. When I watched you dancing that day, I saw something else. I saw a new world coming rapidly. Morescientific, efficient, yes. More cures for the old sicknesses. Very good. But aharsh, cruel world.

It flattered her, where she was most susceptible of flattery, to think how, wound about in their hearts, however long they lived she would be woven... Virginia Woolf
To use a man for what he is naturally best fitted is to keep him, if one can, from apostasy and dissatisfaction. At the same time, life's temptations come most often from that for which one has the greatest aptitude. Fulton J. Sheen
Unfortunately, most people never observe the natural cycle of birth and death. They do not realize that for one living thing to survive, another living thing must die. Temple Grandin
Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean. Aldous Huxley
I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning Plato
