“Kindness covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.” - Roger Ebert
“And if you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror. Look a little closer.

You signed it, ‘They were wrong.’” - Shane Koyczan

“In the same way you don’t get good at a video game by playing it on easy mode, a tough life helped build me into a stronger person. See.. The universe never decides that you as an individual have had enough. It’s more that you decide you’ve had enough, either enough of being bullied or paying attention to it. I know every bullying story is different but that much I can say is true. So if you’re being bullied right now then stay strong and remember that IT doesn’t get better, YOU get better. I believe in you.” - TomSka (Thomas Ridgewell)

“There are far, far better things ahead than we leave behind” - C.S. Lewis
