Thought before word, never word before thought. - Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

"Truth does not sit in a cave and hide like a lie. It wanders around proudly and roars loudly like a lion."

"Whatever your passion is, keep doing it. Don't waste time chasing after success or comparing yourself to others. Every flower blooms at a different pace. Excel at doing what your passion is and only focus on perfecting it. Eventually people will see what you are great at doing, and if you are truly great, success will come chasing after you."

"If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song."

"CALL YOURSELFLook deep in the mirrorAnd say: 'I LOVE YOU'And immediatelyAn electric current willRipple throughout your soulAnd burst through your eyesLike shooting starsDancing across the skiesIn ecstasy.To tell your soul you love it -Is like rememberingWHO YOU AREAfter being in a comaFor a hundred years.Your face will beam the lightOf a hundred galaxies."
