To Holgi & Janette


I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken — and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

by Margaret Mitchell


Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

by Mark Twain
