La vie est une aventure audacieuse ou alors elle n'est rien. - Helen Keller

"A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn."

"Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living."

"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble."

"Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same."

"Literature is my Utopia"
