"Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of an uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd." - Edith Sitwell

"Sorrow comes in great waves...but it rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us, it leaves us. And we know that if it is strong, we are stronger, inasmuch as it passes and we remain." ~ Henry James
Change has considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful, change is threatening because it means that things may get worse To the hopeful, change is encouraging because things may get better. To confident, change is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
~ King Whitney, Jr.
I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time.
~Anna Freud
"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."
~ Mohandas Gandhi
"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be "happy." I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all."
~ Leo C. Rosten

In reverence for those women who have gone before us and paid the ultimate price...
WHO WILL GRIEVE FOR THIS WOMAN?
DOES SHE NOT SEEM TO INSIGNIFICANT FOR OUR CONCERN?
BUT IN MY HEART, I WILL NOT DENY HER,
WHO SUFFERED DEATH BECAUSE SHE CHOSE TO TURN.
ANA AHKMATOVA

Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can’t prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you’re presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice, and the choice can be power.

"Acknowledge each feeling (as it arises), and then let it go.
If you do not continue with it, then you will be free of that feeling.
Similar thoughts and feelings may come again,
but just treat them the same."
