The highest art is the art of living an ordinary life in an extraordinary manner.

~Tibetan proverb

Sometimes the people with the greatest potential often take the longest to find their path because their sensitivity is a double edged sword – it lives at the heart of their brilliance, but it also makes them more susceptible to life’s pain.

~Jeff Brown

Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you.

~Paul Coelho

Never apologise for being over sensitive and emotional when defending the welfare of wildlife. Let this be a sign that you have a big heart and aren’t afraid to show your true feelings. These emotions give you the strength to fight for what is right and to be the voice of those who cannot be heard.

~Paul Oxton

My feelings are too loud for words and too shy for the world.

~Dejan Stojanovic

It’s also important to understand that here the journey really is all: most of us don’t come to understand our calling until later in life, because uncovering it is a lifetime’s work. And even after we’ve arrived at what we think is our destination, we’re still not at the end of our quest – because the ways in which our calling manifests itself will continue to shift through the years. The purpose of life is continuous transformation; we’re not here to turn to stone.

~Sharon Blackie

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

~Ursula K. Le Guin

Maybe there’s nothing wrong with you – Maybe it is just really difficult to exist within a system that was not designed to support a spirit like yours.

~Unknown

What if I accept that all I really want is a small, slow, simple life. A mediocre life. A beautiful, quiet, gentle life. I think it is enough.

~Krista O’Reilly-Davi-Digui

The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.

~Frederick Buechner
