Results from Cole's Quotables:

Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous; it is nothing if it is not ridiculous.: Thornton Wilder (1897 - 1975)
How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.: Barry Lopez, Arctic Dreams
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.: Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude
What then have I done? What, except yield to a natural feeling, inspired by beauty, sanctioned by virtue and kept at all times within the bounds of respect. It's innocent expression prompted not by hope but by trust.: Vicomte de Valmont, Les Liaisons Dangereuses
If we deny love that is given to us, if we refuse to give love because we fear pain or loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss greater.: Unknown
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.: Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC), The Dharmapada
Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to Truth as a lamp; hold fast to the truth as a refuge. Look not for a refuge in anyone beside yourselves. And those, who shall be a lamp unto themselves, shall betake themselves to no external refuge, but holding fast to the Truth as their lamp, and holding fast to the Truth as their refuge, they shall reach the topmost height.: Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC)
Our worst enemies here are not the ignorant and simple, however cruel; our worst enemies are the intelligent and corrupt.: Graham Greene, The Human Factor (1978)
Prejudice is the child of ignorance.: William Hazzlitt
In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
