There are two quotes that I have with me at work..but they are rather long but here is the short version

Colonel Norman Vaughan-Do not give credence to the words no or can't. No matter how bold, dreams can be yours. Do not yeild. Remain steadfast.

Roy Firestone-Happiness is knowing what you want. Success is getting what you want. But glory is the ultimate experience of wanting and enjoying what you finally have.

Storm Warnings


I draw the curtains as the sky goes black
And set a match to candles sheathed in glass
Against the keyhole draught, the insistent whine
Of weather through the unsealed aperture.
This is our sole defense against the season;
These are the things we have learned to do
Who live in troubled regions.

-- Adrienne Rich

inspired by everyday life in the city of Los Angeles, yet how true it is all over the world:

"It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In LA, nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something."
