So our human life but dies down to its root, and still puts forth its green blade to eternity. ~Henry David Thoreau, Walden


Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come. ~Chinese Proverb


Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth. ~Francesca Lia Block


What do I want to be when I grow up? Happy. I want to be happy. And useful, loved, loving, healthy, wise, free, strong. ~Terri Guillemets
