It gets better. It seems hard, you know, I think being different is always gonna be a tough climb. There's always gonna be people that are scared of it. But at the end of the day you give those bullies, those people, that are so ignorant, if you give them the power to affect you, you're letting them win. And they don't deserve that. What you're doing by being yourself is you're keeping it real, and you're being really brave.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, the average American newspaper, even of the so-called better sort, is not only quite as bad as Upton Sinclair says it is, but 10 times worse

H. L. Mencken, 1941

There sighs, lamentations and loud wailings resounded through the starless air, so that at first it made me weep; strange tongues, horrible language, words of pain, tones of anger, voices loud and hoarse, and with these the sound of hands, made a tumult which is whirling through that air forever dark, and sand eddies in a whirlwind.

Dante Alighieri

My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.

Harry S. Truman

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune but great minds rise above them.

Washington Irving

What rights are those that dare not resist for them?

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead. And often in great need coming to you, I went away comforted indeed. How can I find the shining word, the glowing phrase that tells all that your love has meant to me, all that your friendship spells? There is no word, no phrase for you on whom I so depend. All I can say to you is this, God bless you precious friend.

Grace Noll Crowell

We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass. Oh, let us be true to our exalted destiny.

Catherine Booth

Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.

Aristophanes

When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.

Minna Antrim

Pain, scorned by yonder gout-ridden wretch, endured by yonder dyspeptic in the midst of his dainties, borne bravely by the girl in travail. Slight thou art, if I can bear thee, short thou art if I cannot bear thee!

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

Love does whatever it does, whenever it wants to do it.
