I cannot be grasped in the here and now,For my dwelling place is much among the dead,As the yet unborn,Slightly closer to the heart of creation than usual,But still not close enough.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

Amelia Earhart

In my school, people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look, if they're cool, they get respect.

It is indolence... Indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.

Jane Austen

I know enough of the world now to have almost lost the capacity of being much surprised by anything

Charles Dickens
