  • Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

    ~ Ayn Rand quotes

  • Adults gifted with perceptivity are those who can hear the flowers singing within others not yet aware of their own gifts… [They are able to] understand the meaning of personal symbols and to see beyond the superficiality of a situation to the person beneath... People who are gifted at "seeing" often seem to have a touch of magic about them... Jane Austen, Langston Hughes, Anne Hutchinson, William Shakespeare, and Henry David Thoreau are all examples.
