is almost as valuable to the child

as it is to the caterpillar.

rather than what is acceptable.

the measure of all things, we need to

evaluate other species by what they are.

Searching and learning is where the miracle

to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself.

on what you can be, have or do.

Albert Einstein

Once you stop learning you start dying.

reasons. They were not made for humans

any more than black people were made

for white, or women created for men.

been tortured, pulled away from their

family and brutally killed.

can also suffer great sorrow, but this same

necessity of loving serves to counteract

their grief and heals them.

The worst thing that we can do as women

is not stand up for each other, and this is

something we can practice every day,

no matter where we are and what we do

- women sticking up for other women,

choosing to protect and celebrate each other

instead of competing or critizing each other.

Amal Clooney

Recognize that your birth was a response to

the world's requirements, not solely

your own wishes.

Epictetus
