I don't even feel as if I'm the center of my own world, so how am I supposed to feel as though I'm the center of anyone else's? Nick Hornby
It is true that we are called to create a better world. But we are first of all called to a more immediate and exalted task: that of creating our own lives. Thomas Merton

I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have - I can reflect light into the dark places of this world - into the black places in the hearts of men - and change somethings in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life. Robert Fulghum

Harry S. Truman quote: "The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know."
The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know. Harry S. Truman
If you’re only sceptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. You never learn anything. You become a crochety misanthrope convinced that nonsense is ruling the world. (There is, of course, much data to support you.) Since major discoveries in the borderlines of science are rare, experience will tend to confirm your grumpiness. But every now and then a new idea turns out to be on the mark, valid and wonderful. If you’re too resolutely and uncompromisingly sceptical, you’re going to miss... Carl Sagan
Nothing can be forgotten. Nothing can be lost. The universe itself is one vast memory system. Look back and you will find the beginnings of the world. Jeanette Winterson
It has thrown off its disguise as a meal and has revealed itself to me for what it is, a large dead bird. I'm eating a wing. It's the wing of a tame turkey, the stupidest bird in the world, so stupid it can't even fly any more. I am eating lost flight. Margaret Atwood
