The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.
- Kalu Ndukwe Kalu
Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story. (from 'Instructions')

Neil GaimanFragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.
- Pearl S. Buck
Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.
- Michael Jackson
Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.
If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there
- George Harrison
Get busy living or get busy dying.
These woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
Life is to be enjoyed, not endured
This is your life and its ending one moment at a time.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
To say goodbye is to die a little.
- Raymond Chandler
The Long Goodbye
Was it hard?" I ask.
Letting go?"
Not as hard as holding on to something that wasn't real.
- Lisa Schroeder
The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
If the real world were a book, it would never find a publisher. Overlong, detailed to the point of distraction-and ultimately, without a major resolution.
It is not the length of life, but the depth.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles
Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it.
- Mary Shelley
Frankenstein
The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder
The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.
