#Wishes

"All paradises, all utopias are designed by who is not there, by the people who are not allowed in.[Conversation with Elizabeth Farnsworth, PBS NewsHour, March 9, 1998]"

"Sometimes things become possible if we want them bad enough."

"I once had a dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events some of those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken.But I didn't really mind, because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is."

"The cake had a trick candle that wouldn't go out, so I didn't get my wish. Which was just that it would always be like this, that my life could be a party just for me."

"My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake."

"I made a sorry face in response to such strong insistence, but I couldn’t believe him. Fantasies were exactly that..…..fantasies. Whimsy. Wishes. Mere castles in the sky without foundation or substance. Dreams didn’t come true. To believe so would be to believe falsely, to surrender to madness, to give in to an unreliable hope that would crush me once again as it always, always did!"

"Because hope comes from in you, and wishes are just magic."

"New Year - a new chapter, new verse, or just the same old story ? Ultimately we write it. The choice is ours."

"i hope thatwhoever you arewherever you areand no matter howyou are feelingyou will always have somethingto smile about."

"If you are a dreamer come inIf you are a dreamer a wisher a liarA hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyerIf youre a pretender com sit by my fireFor we have some flax golden tales to spinCome in! Come in!"

"Poor France, thy fine climate, rich vineyards, and the wishes of the learned avail nothing; thou art a destitute beggar, and not the powerful friend thou wert represented to me."

"You can actually create the life you want. It all depends on how daring you desire it."

"If there's a single lesson that life teaches us, it's that wishing doesn't make it so."

"The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds."

"Those who don't value their words, will never value your wishes."

"May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house."

"May Light always surround you;Hope kindle and rebound you.May your Hurts turn to Healing;Your Heart embrace Feeling.May Wounds become Wisdom;Every Kindness a Prism.May Laughter infect you;Your Passion resurrect you.May Goodness inspire your Deepest Desires.Through all that you Reach For, May your arms Never Tire."

"I imagine what would happen if everyone turned their regrets into wishes, went around shouting them."

"They'll say you are bador perhaps you are mador at least you should stay undercover.Your mind must be bareif you would dareto think you can love more than one lover."

"Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified."
