that life's not worth having. ~D. H. Lawrence

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. ~Harvey Fierstein
It is possible to live happily in the here and now. So many conditions of happiness are available--more than enough for you to be happy right now. You don't have to run
into the future in order to get more. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
