We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt. Walter Scott
Snow
Young men / Old men
“Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men: courage, and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace, and the vices of peace are the vices of old men: mistrust and caution.” King Feisal from Lawrence of Arabia
Wrong
Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it. Leo Tolstoy
Open wide your heart
“There is no need to go searching for a remedy for the evils of the time. The remedy already exists – it is the gift of one’s self to those who have fallen so low that even hope fails them. Open wide your heart.” Rene Bazin
Caring for myself
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” Audre Lorde
