"Literature is map of humanity, the documenter of civilization. Books introduce us to the landscape of the greatest minds of every century."

"Storytelling entails weaving a narrative out of the disturbing, strange, inspirational, and unremarkable detritus of life. By picking among the litter of our personal experiences to select evocative anecdotes to weave into a narrative format, we reveal which of life's legendary offerings prove the most sublime to us. Acts of omission are momentous. Our narration of personal sketches divulge what factoids inspire us or do not stir us into action, or contain obdurate truths that prove virtually impossible to crack."

"Every human being carries with them the stories of their ancestors, the story of their generation, and the rudiments of pliable clay to build future storylines that will shape their community of kindred souls.

"Some people never stop working, especially the demanding type of person whom the world never seems to touch, the indomitable person whom is determined to make the world their own place."

"A person lives a false life whenever they are afraid to make contact with his or her authentic self. A sensitive ego " one that protects a person from pain " can also prevent a person from maturing mentally and emotionally by causing a person to distort truths and refuse to admit unpleasant facts."

"Without opposition, there could be no creation. All life would cease without resistance. Emotions also have their polar opposites: attraction " repulsion, love " hate, aggression " meekness, and mercy " callousness."

"Personal dignity begins by accepting responsibility for our actions, acting humbly, and extending compassion to other people. Personal humility requires choosing living with quietness of the heart over living in the depths of animosity, despair, and discord."
