Reflecting Upon......


"I do not wish to treat relationships daintily, but
with the roughest courage. When they are real, they
are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest
thing we know."

"Be not the slave of your past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old."

"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."

(My fav quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson)
