“On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.”
George Orwell
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
Thoreau
“You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won’t mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever…. connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.”
C Joybell
“We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.” -Sigmund Freud

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” – Winston Churchill
I stand for integrity and honesty. I will not back down from holding and giving the truth, or making myself available to it from others. I will do the difficult work of standing up for whats right, even if it is not easy. I will work tirelessly even if it intimidates others.
I will not dim my light to make you more comfortable.
I will not play small in the world.
