Galadriel: “Mithrandir...
why the Halfling?” Gandalf: ..”.I don't know. Saruman believes it is only great
power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I've
found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the
darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps
it is because I am afraid... and he gives me courage.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the
Ring
“It is not
despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do
not.”

daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now.

you free to abandon it.”
The Talmud
“And once the
storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to
survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing
is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who
walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
Haruki
Murakami
“I will
breathe. I will think of solutions. I will not let my worry control me. I will
not let my stress level break me. I will simply breathe. And it will be okay.
Because I don’t quit.”
Shayne McClendon
Kahlil Gibran on Good & Evil
“Of the good in
you I can speak, but not of the evil.
For what is
evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Verily when
good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts it drinks
even of dead waters.
You are good
when you are one with yourself.
Yet when you
are not one with yourself you are not evil.
For a divided
house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house.
And a ship
without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the
bottom.”
From ‘The prophet’ by Kahlil Gibran
“Out of
suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are
seared with scars.”
Khalil Gibran
Andy Dufresne: [in letter to Red] “Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the
best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”
The Shawshank Redemption
