a thousand words...: November 2011

--Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine...--To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting...--We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies...--Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity...--The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality...--As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit...--A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral...--I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it...--The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak...--Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile...--You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip...--
