"My object all sublime I shall achieve in time..."

"Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves."

"When life seems chaotic, you don't need people giving you easy answers or cheap promises. There might not be any answers to your problems. What you need is a safe place where you can bounce with people who have taken some bad hops of their own."

"Nothing ever goes away."

It is said that behind every cloud is a silver lining. Miracles abound. Life is about change. All these adages have stuck around for all this time for a reason! When we take a moment to look, we can see the profound miracles that happen every day. If only we will look. Finding one's way through the trials of Life is the greatest blessing of all.
