Writing

We write to taste life twice,
in the moment and in retrospect.
- Anaïs Nin

Challenge

Always do what you are afraid to do.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Optimism

Optimism and pessimism are mere matters of optics,
of how you look at things,
and that can change from day to day, or
with a new prescription for your glasses --
or with a new set of ideological filters.

- George Weigel

Life

Life is either a daring adventure,
or nothing.

- Helen Keller
