Desperation is a millstone. It wears away at the very soul, grinding away pity, kindness, humanity and courage.

Thomas Merton
Image
Each of us is born brilliant. Then we spend the rest of our lives having our brilliance buried by people, circumstances, and experiences. Eventually, we forget that we ever had genius and special talents, and our brilliance is locked away in a vault deep within. So we settle for who we are, instead of striving for who we were meant to be.

Sarah Silverman
