Perhaps living through these petty days will get us ready for the dangerous ones Picture Quote #1

There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. They fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been lonely. I’ve been in a room... I’ve felt suicidal, I’ve been depressed. I’ve felt awful... awful beyond all, but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me... or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I’ve never been bothered with because I’ve always had this terrible itch for solitude Picture Quote #1

You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics Picture Quote #1
