The adult world is pretty irrelevant to me. Whether I'm off on my bicycle (or pony) exploring, lost in a good book, or giggling with my best friend, I live in a world apart, one full of adventure and wonder and other stuff adults don't understand. Take this quiz!
The prince said, "Who is she, Molly? What kind of woman is it who believes--who knows, for I saw her face--that she can cure wounds with a touch, and who weeps without tears?"
Molly went on about her work, still humming to herself.
"Any woman can weep without tears," she answered over her shoulder, "and most can heal with her hands. It depends on the wound. She is a woman, Your Highness, and that's riddle enough." --The Last Unicorn
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall - think of it, always. ~~ Mahatma Gandhi
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. ~~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness. ~~ Mark Twain

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ~~ Mahatma Gandhi
I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it. ~~ John Stuart Mill
We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots, and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering, and shame. In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing. With just a little witty skepticism we can kill a good deal of the future in a young person. Life is waiting everywhere, the future is flowering everywhere, but we only see a small part of it and step on much of it with our feet. ~~ Hermann Hesse, German poet and novelist.
Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience ... Therefore [individual citizens] have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring. ~~ The Nuremberg Tribunal 1945-1946
Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free The mold that clings like desperation Mother can’t you see I’ve got To live my life the way I feel is right for me Might not be right for you but it’s right for me... ~~Sarah McLachlan, "Elsewhere"
