I've found lots of good things lately, but haven't included them. Some are from books I've read recently, some are just quotes plucked from quote books or included in journals and such. So, here we go!
We are strong enough to stand tearlessly
We are brave enough t bend to cry
And sad enough to knkow we must laugh again
--Nikki Giovanni from "We Are Virginia Tech"

--Jean Cocteau
It is always hazardous to express what one has to say indirectly and allusively.
--Walter Pater
Nobody is bored when he is trying to make something that is beautiful, or to discover something that is true.
--William Inge
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: I'm with you, kid. Let's go.
--Maya Angelou
Success consists of getting up just one time more than you fall.
--Oliver Goldsmith
Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.
--Jack Canfield
It's funny how bed and pillows and covers can change a conversation. Words turn quiet and you mean more and say less. It's like you can build your own little world, Population: 2.
--Robin Benway from Audrey, Wait!
