    Charles Baudelaire
    “Do you remember the sight we saw, my soul,
    that soft summer morning
    round a turning in the path,
    the disgusting carcass on a bed scattered with stones,
    its legs in the air like a woman in need
    burning its wedding poisons
    like a fountain with its rhythmic sobs,
    I could hear it clearly flowing with a long murmuring sound,
    but I touch my body in vain to find the wound.
    I am the vampire of my own heart,
    one of the great outcasts condemned to eternal laughter
    who can no longer smile.
    Am I dead?
    I must be dead.”
    ― Charles Baudelaire

    “Courage is holding on one minute longer than everyone else. Courage is stepping forward when every fiber of your being says step back. Courage is being willing to do the impossible because it is the right thing to do.”

    “The true Indian sets no price upon either his property or his labor. His generosity is limited only by his strength and ability. He regards it as an honor to be selected for difficult or dangerous service and would think it shameful to ask for any reward, saying rather: "Let the person I serve express his thanks according to his own bringing up and his sense of honor. Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new sweet earth, and the Great Silence alone!. What is Silence? It is the Great Mystery! The Holy Silence is His voice!”
    ― Charles Alexander (Ohiyesa) Eastman, The Soul of the Indian

    “To die,
    so young to die.
    No, no, not I,
    I love the warm sunny skies,
    light, song, shining eyes,
    I want no war, no battle cry,
    No, no, not I.”

    C.J. Cherryh
    “There was love, a reliable and real love grown in a handful of days, and Tristan did not know why it was: friendship had happened to both of them, on the sudden, completely aside from Tristan's both endangering and saving Crissand's life.

    It was no reason related to that, it was no reason that either of them quite knew. Crissand had simply risen on his horizon like the sun of his banner...and that was that....They were together, and there was a great deal right with the day simply in that.”

    “Every word I write is like a drop of my blood. If it's flowed passionately and long, I need time to recover from the emotion spent before I begin a new story. My characters are aspects of my life. I have to respectfully and carefully move between them.”

    “Men can have an obvious display of heroics or strength or accomplishment, but it is the unsung women throughout all ages of humankind who have endured with superlative strength, beauty and love, often with secret suffering, that deserve absolute respect and acknowlegement. They are the true heroes of humanity. They are the champions who have birthed and nurtured us, who have held us together at the most integral level, when men seemed intent only on tearing apart the fabric of life for irrelevant ideals.”

    “Understand indigenous healing will also heal other nations and peoples. We've all been living on broken ugly systems built on genocide and slavery. Strengthening and empowering others, in whatever capacity, also helps the self.”

    “Loyalty, while it can be admirable is also conditional. Dependent on forces inside and out, on perceptions, on likes and dislikes. It can be misguided and flawed, even dumb depending on circumstance.

    Integrity, however, has no conditions. It cannot be earned. It is not based on circumstance, but on inherent strength, belief and purpose.

    To be called loyal isn't necessarily a compliment. Hitler's henchman were loyal. To be recognized for integrity is a true honor.”
