“A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions.”
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., U.S. supreme court justice
Barriers in Your Way
“Thinking back, I’ve realized that when barriers are put in front of you, it’s God or the universe asking you to remember who you are, and reminding you not to let yourself be defined by things outside of you.”
- Christine Ebersole, Actress and Tony Award winner
p. 77, O Magazine, June 2007
Be Mad
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
- Jack Kerouac
Speak Up
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Passionate catalysts
“There is a difference in being passionate and being pushy. A catalyst doesn’t try to persuade people but rather relies on a much more subtle technique: meeting people where they are.”
- from The Starfish and the Spider, p 124
