Louise Penny
“You too?" She asked Ruth. "How do your poems start out?"

"They start as a lump in the throat," she said.”
Louise Penny, The Long Way Home

Marianne Williamson
“Practice kindness, and you start to become kind. Practice discipline, and you start to become disciplined. Practice forgiveness, and you start to become forgiving. Practice charity, and you start to become charitable. Practice gentleness, and you start to become gentle.”
Marianne Williamson, The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for Living Your Best Life

Dalai Lama XIV
“If we stress secondary level of differences—my nation, my religion, my color—then we notice the differences. Like this moment now in Africa, there is too much emphasis on this nation or that nation. They should think that we are same Africans. Furthermore, we are same human beings. Same with religion: Shiite and Sunni, or Christian and Muslim. We are same human beings. These differences between religions are personal matters. When we relate to others from the place of compassion it goes to the first level, the human level, not the secondary level of difference. Then you can even have compassion for your enemy.”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World

Nicholson Baker
“I woke up thinking a very pleasant thought. There is lots left in the world to read.”
Nicholson Baker, The Anthologist

David Sedaris
“If I could believe in myself, why not give other improbabilities the benefit of the doubt?”
David Sedaris, Holidays on Ice
