Tom’s Quotes

“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.”
― John Lennon

“Who are you?
Just because you break hearts
doesn't make you a heartbreaker.
Just because you get straight A's
doesn't make you a success.
Just because you have a college consultant
doesn't make you college bound.
Just because you fail to act
doesn't make you cowardly.
Just because you need help,
doesn't make you weak.
Just because the world sees you as something
or as nothing
doesn't mean anything
at all.”
― Robin Friedman, Nothing
