...Forget the broken places...

"There is a place within you that has never been broken. No matter what fractures and cracks, no matter what seismic blows have battered your heart year after year after wearying year, within you there is something that grows strong, that stands.  It has never been laid low by storm, never drowned in flood, never frozen and cracked.  It has never burned to the ground, never faded away. ... Forget the broken places. Forget dragging those bags of dust around with you. The broken places had their shot. Do you want them in charge forever? Aren’t you bored with those 'not good enough' messages? Aren’t you done being the broken girl? Go to the source.  Find that still place unbroken in your being and let it speak." -Dianne Sylvan

...like the language you love.

"Find yourself strong and good like the language you love." -Tom Pathos Bill Johns

...and not to yield.

"... and tho' / We are not now that strength which in old days / Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; / One equal temper of heroic hearts, / Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will / To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Alfred Lord Tennyson; Ulysses

The true test of character is...

"The true test of character is... how we behave when we don't know what to do." -John Holt

To keep doing what you set...

"To keep doing what you set your heart on... It's a very hard thing to do." -Final Fantasy IX

What is Nobility? What is Heroism...

"What is Nobility? What is Heroism? Is it the greatness of the strong? Or is it the heart to strive when hope no longer lives?" -Jennifer Diane; Unicorn Jelly
