If you see someone falling behind, walk beside them. If you see someone being ignored, find a way to include them.If someone has been knocked down, lift them up. Always remind people of their worth. One small act could mean the world to them.

I am just a human being trying to make it in a world that is rapidly losing its understanding of being human.

John Trudell
Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.

Now I think life kinda begins in March. January is just nostalgia and recollection. And February - it's all about regaining consciousness.

I know you have seen things you wish you hadn't. You have done things you wish you could take back. And you wonder why you were thrown into the thick of it all - why you had to suffer the way you did. And as you are sitting there alone and hurting, I wish I could put a pen in your hand and gently remind you how the world has given you poetry and now you must give it back.

Lang Leav, Memories
... the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are - not smarter, not cooler, but kinder and more generous, and more forgiving - and then appreciate them for what they can teach you, and try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad - or good - it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.

Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
The one thing you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can. The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked…that’s the moment you may be starting to get it right.

Neil Gaiman, Make Good Art
We called ourselves alchemists, or artists,
and sometimes we thought
we were gods.

We worked our magic,
carving words into walls in wee hours,
carving rhymes intertwined
between lines,
in those secret places
or sacred spaces
and we tried to leave our mark
on anything at all.

Our words were our power,
and we’d let you believe
we were desirous
of our isolation,
and not born of it.

We’d never admit
that we’d picked up a pen
in the absence
of ears that would hear us,
or that we wrote
because our sorrow was heard,
only when we’d learned to weep
in a way that was beautiful.

Poets by Mira Hadlow
Yet, even amidst the hatred and carnage, life is still worth living. It is possible for wonderful encounters and beautiful things to exist.

Hayao Miyazaki
Don't use a big word when a singularly unloquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity.

The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.”

Maximilien Robespierre
I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

Jim Carrey
One day you will understand the compass in your chest is not broken, but simply asking you to look within for the maps you drew before the world told you where to go.

The world and those people you stopped trying so hard to please.
Trauma makes you tolerate people who treat you poorly because you're afraid of losing them. Healing makes you realize that you should be afraid of losing yourself by trying to please everyone.
