"What we need is more people who specialize in the impossible.
 We truly believe that if we all role up our sleeves and work
 for what we want we can achieve even those things that
 people call impossible."

"After having chopped off the arms that reached out to me;
 after having boarded up all the windows and doors; after
 having filled all the pits with poisoned water; after having
 built my house on a rock of No inaccessible to flattery and
 fears; after having cut out my tongue and after having eaten
 it; after having hurled handfuls of silence and monosyllables
 of scorn at my lovers; after having forgotten my name and the
 name of my birthplace and the name of my race; after having
 judged myself and having sentenced myself to perpetual hope
 and perpetual loneliness, I heard against the stones of my
 gourd of syllogisms the moist attack, tender, insistent, of spring."

 After a while you learn the subtle difference
 Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
 And you learn that love doesn't mean learning,
 And company doesn't mean security.
 And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts,
 And presents aren't promises,
 And you begin to accept your defects,
 With your head up and your eyes open,
 With the grace of a woman,
 Not the grief of a child.
 And you learn to build all of your roads on today
 Because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans,
 And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
 After a while you learn
 That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
 So you plant your own garden
 And decorate your own soul,
 Instead of waiting for someone to bring your flowers.
 An you learn that you really can endure,
 That you really are strong,
 And you really have worth.
 And you learn and learn,
 With every good-bye you learn."

I believe-
that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.
I believe-
that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every
once in a while and you must forgive
them for that.
I believe-
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I believe-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.
I believe-
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.
I believe-
that you should always leave loved ones
with loving words. It may be the last
time you see them.
I believe-
that you can keep going
long after you can't.
I believe-
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.
I believe-
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.
I believe-
that regardless of how hot and
steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had
better be something else to take
its place.
I believe-
that heroes are the people
who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.
I believe-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe-
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.
I believe-
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe-
that sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel.
I believe-
that just because someone doesn't love
you the way you want them to doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.
I believe-
that maturity has more to do with
what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe-
that it isn't always enough to be
forgiven by others. Sometimes you
have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe-
that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe-
that our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe-
that just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do.
I believe-
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
secret. It could change your life forever.
I believe-
that two people can look at the exact
same thing and see something totally.
different.
I believe-
that your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.
I believe-
that even when you think you have no more
to give, when a friend cries out to you
you will find the strength to help.
I believe-
that credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.
I believe-
that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.
