“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”
“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.”
“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea.”
“Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.”
“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”
“I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes
to dash against darkness”
“Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.”
