“Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage 
unless you're scared.”
― Eddie Rickenbacker

“Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.”
― Nelson Mandela

“It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is using celestial colors to paint your image. Someone is making you into a vision so beautiful that it can only live in the mind. Someone is thinking of the way your breath escapes your lips when you are touched. How your eyes close and your jaw tightens with concentration as you give pleasure a home. These thoughts are saving a life somewhere right now. In some airless apartment on a dark, urine stained, whore lined street, someone is calling out to you silently and you are answering without even being there. So crystalline. So pure. Such life saving power when you smile. You will never know how you have cauterized my wounds. So sad that we will never touch. How it hurts me to know that I will never be able to give you everything I have”
― Henry Rollins
