Desmond Tutu


You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

Jason Mraz


In case you never noticed, the path you never chose has chosen you.

Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex (1950)

Oscar Wilde

Frederick Douglas


Those who profess to favor freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without planting up the ground. They want rain without thunder or lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. The struggle may not be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will.

Friedrich Nietzsche, "On Reading and Writing"


There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
