- However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The faultfinder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace. Henry David Thoreau

- “In fact, if you’re wondering if I expect miracles—the answer is yes. Even when they don’t seem to happen, I keep believing in them. Even when I stop believing in them, I’ll always start again. Because if you don’t have hope, what’s left? I believe. And maybe they’ll happen in a way I never saw coming–they usually do. Or maybe I’ll find the way to make them happen myself. But ether way–I expect miracles.” ― Jennifer DeLucy
