Beyond Reason

“Anger makes you smaller,

while forgiveness forces you

to grow beyond what you were.”

~ Cherie Carter-Scott

The Lips of a Rose Petal

“Loveliest of lovely things are they

on earth that soonest pass away.

The rose that lives its little hour

is prized beyond the sculptured flower.”

~ William Cullen Bryant

“The health of the eye

seems to demand a horizon.

We are never tired, so long as

we can see far enough.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“God gives every bird its food,

but He does not throw it

into the nest.”

~ Josiah Gilbert Holland

“Being a fish out of water

is tough, but that’s how

you evolve.”

~ Kumail Nanjiani

“Benches and books have things

in common beyond the fact that

they’re generally to do with sitting.

Both are forms of public privacy,

intimate spaces widely shared.”

~ Mal Peet
