"This above all; to thine own self be true." -William Shakespeare (Hamlet Act I Scene III)
"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them"

To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget….Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
— Arundhati Roy (via pigeongrasse)
