Some quotes that I find particularly inspirational

• "‘Falling in love,’ we said; ‘I fell for him.’ We were falling women. We believed in it, this downward motion: so lovely, like flying, and yet at the same time so dire, so extreme, so unlikely."
  -Margaret Atwood

• "It is not our abilities that make who we are, it is our choices."
  -Albus Dumbledore

• "Dogs of Peace opposing the fearmongering dogs of war"

           -Unknown

• "Isogakure onaji kokoro ni tazu zo naku na ga omoiizuru hito ya tare zo mo" (In the cove at Iso the crane cries as I cry; who can it be she yearns for?)

  -Unknown

• "The train came out of the long border tunnel-and suddenly, there was the Snow Country. The depths of the night turned white."

  -Yasunari Kawabata-Yukiguni

• "The beginninq of June was hot. I took a journey, and of course, immediately everything was new. When you travel, your first discovery is that you do not exist."

  -From Elizabeth Hardwick's Sleepless Nights.
