“I learned in therapy the word "No" is a complete sentence.”
Jaycee Dugard, A Stolen Life

Gaylan D. Wright
“There seems to be a requirement for just so many people to be in the poor class, just as the need for a middle class exists. One class actually supports the other. The only way to get out of that cycle is to fight your way out. Never pass up an opportunity, and stick your foot into every open door, even if it’s just to see what’s inside. If there’s a possibility of seeing something you never have seen to experiencing something new. Do it. ”
Gaylan D. Wright, Slave to the Dream: Everyone’s Dream
