Random quote of the day:

“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.”

—Alan Cohen, Joy Is My Compass: Taking the Risks to Follow Your Bliss

Random quote of the day:

“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.”

—Roger Ebert, quoted in “Roger Ebert: The Essential Man,” Esquire, February 16, 2010

pjthompson: quotes (quotei)

Random quote of the day:

 

“The world is a cruel place…and compassion had to be tempered with a keen eye for safety, survival, because nothing was ever safe. Nothing ever sacred. Nothing, that is, except moments. Moments of joy, of love; peace and good food and warmth at a table surrounded by those you cared about. Moments like those could be counted, each one precious. Beyond that, a mystery.”

—Marjorie M. Liu, The Red Heart of Jade
