Eleanor Roosevelt
“You can often change your circumstances by changing your attitude”
Eleanor Roosevelt

David Foster Wallace
“If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don't bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if you want, but don't bullshit yourself that you're not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.”
David Foster Wallace, Up, Simbal!: 7 Days on the Trail of an Anticandidate

Elizabeth Gilbert
“Having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You really need to be certain it's what you want before you commit.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Erica Bauermeister
“Breath is life in”
Erica Bauermeister, Joy for Beginners

Erica Bauermeister
“I think love is kind of like those waves out there," she said. "You ride one in to the beach, and it's the most amazing thing you've ever felt. But at some point the water goes back out; it has to. And maybe you're lucky-maybe you're both too busy to do anything drastic. Maybe you're good as friends, so you stay. And then something happens-maybe it's something as big as a baby, or as small as him unloading the dishwasher-and the wave comes back in again. And it does that, over and over. I just think sometimes people forget to wait.”
Erica Bauermeister, Joy for Beginners
