A magazine is not a mirror. Have you ever seen anyone in a magazine who seemed even vaguely like you looking back? (If you have, turn the page.) Most magazines are made to sell us a fantasy of what we're supposed to be. They reflect what society deems to be a standard, however unrealistic or unattainable that standard is. That doesn't mean you should cancel your subscription. It means you need to remember that its just ink on paper. And that whatever standards you set for yourself, for how much you want to weigh, for how hard you work out, or how many times you make it to the gym, should be your standards. Not someone else's. ~ Unknown

I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honour and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not be merely the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail. ~ William Faulkner (from his Nobel Prize for Literature acceptance speech)

You have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind about history and everything else but you can't make up an empty mind. Stock your mind. It is your house of treasure and no one in the world can interfere with it. If you won the Irish Sweepstakes and bought a house that needed furniture would you fill it with bits and pieces of rubbish? Your mind is your house and if you fill it with rubbish from the cinemas it will rot your head. You might be poor, your shoes might be broken but your mind is a palace. ~ Frank McCourt (from "Angela's Ashes")

But just because this is all you can do, does not mean that you should not do it... do it in the face of all hopelessness. And why?

If you carefully investigate these matters you will find Him in yourself. ~ Monomius
