Words to live by:
"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead" - Louisa May Alcott
"When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?" - Eleanor Roosevelt
"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world" - Anne Frank
"... I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some invite sorrow, others joy, some both" - Elie Wiesel
"I read [history] a little as a duty, but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me... with wars or pestilences on every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all-it is very tiresome; and yet I often think it odd that it should be so dull, for a great deal of it must be invention. The speeches that are put into the heroes' mouths, their thoughts and designs-the chief of all this must be invention, and invention is what delights me in other books" - Jane Austen
"In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart" - Anne Frank
"'History is merely a list of surprises,' I said. 'It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again'" - Kurt Vonnegut
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals" - JK Rowling (Sirius Black)
"You fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be" - JK Rowling (Dumbledore)
