Courage doesn't always roar.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,

"I will try again tomorrow."

"To the degree you approach the truth, your solitude will increase.. Keep going. Don’t be afraid. The worst has already taken place. Of course, life will rip you apart again; but, as for you, you no longer have much to do with it.

Remember this: fundamentally, you are already dead. You are now face to face with Eternity."

~ Michel Houellebecq

"It was in an American desert that I suddenly realized that rain doesn't fall from the sky, it comes from the ground.

The formation of deserts is not due to the absence of rain, but rain stops falling because the vegetation has disappeared.
Building a dam in the middle of the desert is like trying to treat just one symptom... the only valid way to increase rainfall is to learn to regenerate ancient forests."

~ Masanobu Fukuoka, author of 'The One Straw Revolution'

“Socrates said, “The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.” He wasn’t talking about grammar. To misuse language is to use it the way politicians and advertisers do, for profit, without taking responsibility for what the words mean. Language used as a means to get power or make money goes wrong: it lies. Language used as an end in itself, to sing a poem or tell a story, goes right, goes towards the truth. A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”

~ Ursula K. Le Guin
