“A million candles have burned themselves out. Still I read on. (Montresor)”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Cask of Amontillado

“A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.”
― Amelia Earhart

“Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace,
The soul that knows it not, knows no release
From little things;
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear
The sound of wings.

How can Life grant us boon of living, compensate
For dull grey ugliness and pregnant hate
Unless we dare
The soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay
With courage to behold the restless day,
And count it fair.”
― Amelia Earhart

“In this world in which we live simplicity and kindness are the only magic wands that work wonders”
― L. Frank Baum, The Emerald City of Oz
