Quote by -Ellen DeGeneres
“Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh. Keep doing it even if people are passing you on the street saying, ‘I can’t tell if that person is laughing or crying, but either way they seem crazy, let’s walk faster.’ Emote. It’s okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling.”

“True beauty is not related to what color your hair is or what color your eyes are. True beauty is about who you are as a human being, your principles, your moral compass.”
Quote by -Ellen DeGeneres
“Find out who you are and figure out what you believe in. Even if it’s different from what your neighbors believe in and different from what your parents believe in. Stay true to yourself. Have your own opinion. Don’t worry about what people say about you or think about you. Let the naysayers nay. They will eventually grow tired of naying.”
Quote by -Ellen DeGeneres
“Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. Never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that.”
Quote by -Ellen DeGeneres
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Quote by -Francis Bacon
What if all's appearance? Is not outside seeming real as substance inside? Both are facts, so leave me dreaming.
Quote by -Robert Browning
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph.
Quote by -Robert Browning
I know what I want and what I might gain, and yet, how profitless to know.
Quote by -Robert Browning
But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, to dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and baffled, get up and begin again.
Quote by -Robert Browning
“LONELINESS I too have known loneliness. I too have known what it is to feel misunderstood, rejected, and suddenly not at all beautiful. Oh, mother earth, your comfort is great, your arms never withhold. It has saved my life to know this. Your rivers flowing, your roses opening in the morning. Oh, motions of tenderness!”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“A dog comes to you and lives with you in your own house, but you do not therefore own her, as you do not own the rain, or the trees, or the laws which pertain to them.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“The poem in which the reader does not feel himself or herself a participant is a lecture, listened to from an uncomfortable chair, in a stuffy room, inside a building.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
When I have to die, I would like to die on a day of rain - long rain, slow rain, the kind you think will never end.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“A dog can never tell you what she knows from the smells of the world, but you know, watching her, that you know almost nothing.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“FIRST YOGA LESSON “Be a lotus in the pond,” she said, “opening slowly, no single energy tugging against another but peacefully, all together.” I couldn’t even touch my toes. “Feel your quadriceps stretching?” she asked. Well, something was certainly stretching. Standing impressively upright, she raised one leg and placed it against the other, then lifted her arms and shook her hands like leaves. “Be a tree,” she said. I lay on the floor, exhausted. But to be a lotus in the pond opening slowly, and very slowly rising— that I could do.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“There is nothing more pathetic than caution when headlong might save a life, even, possibly, your own.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“It is six A.M., and I am working. I am absentminded, reckless, heedless of social obligations, etc. It is as it must be. The tire goes flat, the tooth falls out, there will be a hundred meals without mustard. The poem gets written. I have wrestled with the angel and I am stained with light and I have no shame. Neither do I have guilt.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“But mostly I just stand in the dark field, in the middle of the world, breathing”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“That’s the big question, the one the world throws at you every morning. “Here you are, alive. Would you like to make a comment?”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“I learned from Whitman that the poem is a temple--or a green field--a place to enter, and in which to feel.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“I cherish two sentences and keep them close to my desk. The first is by Flaubert. I came upon it among Van Gough's letters. It says, simply, 'Talent is long patience, and originality an effort of will and of intense observation.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“Or maybe it’s about the wonderful things that may happen if you break the ropes that are holding you.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“When loneliness comes stalking, go into the fields, consider the orderliness of the world.”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“When death comes…. I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what it’s going to be like, that cottage of darkness?”
Quote by -Mary Oliver
“that your spirit grow in curiosity, that your life be richer than it is, that you bow to the earth as you feel how it actually is, that we—so clever, and ambitious, and selfish, and unrestrained— are only one design of the moving, the vivacious many.”
