QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” – Judy Garland
“Just because you are different does not mean that you have to be rejected.” – Eartha Kitt
“Children are tough, though we tend to think of them as fragile. They have to be tough. Childhood is not easy. We sentimentalize children, but they know what's real and what's not. They understand metaphor and symbol.” – Maurice Sendak
“Writers are greatly respected. The intelligent public is wonderfully patient with them, continues to read them, and endures disappointment after disappointment, waiting to hear from art what it does not hear from theology, philosophy, social theory, and what it cannot hear from pure science. Out of the struggle at the center has come an immense, painful longing for a broader, more flexible, fuller, more coherent, more comprehensive account of what we human beings are, who we are, and what this life is for.” – Saul Bellow

“Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.” – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
“Reality is the leading cause of stress among those in touch with it.” – Lily Tomlin
