• No matter what is going on in your life today, remember, it is only preparation. People come and go; situations rise and fall; it's all preparation for better things.

• It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail. The religion and public liberty of a people are intimately connected; their interests are interwoven, they cannot subsist separately; and therefore they rise and fall together. For this reason, it is always observable, that those who are combin'd to destroy the people's liberties, practice every art to poison their morals.

  Flannery O'Connor

  Christian, Fall, Thinking

• Truly it has been said that there is nothing new under the sun,
  for knowledge is revealed and is submerged again, even as a nation rises and falls.

  in the same way that great nations have risen and fallen
  and been lost to history beneath the desert sands and in the ocean depths.

  Paracelsus

• Tulips come up in spring for no reason. Of course, you planted bulbs and now in April the earth warms up. But why? For no reason except gravity. Why gravity? For no reason. And why did you plant red tulip bulbs to begin with? For beauty, which is itself and has no reason. So the world is empty. Things rise and fall for no reason. And what a great opportunity that is! You can start writing again at any minute. Let go of all your failures and sit down and write something great. Or write something terrible and feel great about it.

  Natalie Goldberg
