Marguerite Duras

Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.

John Updike

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.

Marianne Williamson

Hedy Lamarr

Lawrence G. Lovasik

I always imagined I could be what I wanted to be.

Chris Brown

Always when we walked, it was clear to me how much he loved nature, wild flowers, animals in their natural habitat and the simple pleasures of a beautiful sunset. My love for the environment did not develop out of a vacuum.
