“It’s the smell of him in the bathroom, all I need to get ready for the day. Watching him get dressed, and the sound in the kitchen; a slow hum of a song and his movements, picking things to eat. The way I could observe him, for hours, just go on with his day – or as he sleeps – simply breathing in and out, in and out, and it’s like the hymn that sings me to peace. I know the world is still out there and I know I’m not yet friendly to its pace, but as long as I know him with me, here, there, somewhere – us – I know I have a chance.”

“The only true borders lie between day and night, between life and death, between hope and loss.”

“In the beginning..when ray and day hadn’t yet come into existence at all, there was a kind of radiance that illuminates universe. That radiance is the light of knowledge and goodness. That radiance will persistently and consistently shines brightly even after all the stars and moons in this vast universe died out.”

“Start shaping your own day. Start walking your own walk. This journey is yours, take charge of it. Stop giving other people the power to shape your life.”

“Have you ever seen the dawn? Not a dawn groggy with lack of sleep or hectic with mindless obligations and you about to rush off on an early adventure or business, but full of deep silence and absolute clarity of perception? A dawning which you truly observe, degree by degree. It is the most amazing moment of birth. And more than anything it can spur you to action. Have a burning day.”

“Day or night, good or bad…all things from within.”

“Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes.Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.”

“Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.”

“Breathe deep… The rain falls but a moment, and in a moment, gives life to another day.”

“Have a happy snow day, and let the snowflakes smile for you.”

“Love is what makes the world turn around, the night turn into day, and dreams turn into reality.”

“A couple of eggs sunny side up, some rashes of bacon, and a couple of sausages can put a smile into anyone’s day.”

“Stop waiting for the perfect day or the perfect moment… Take THIS day, THIS moment and lead it to perfection.”

“And from the midst of cheerless gloomI passed to bright unclouded day.”

“The day drags along, you make thousands of plans, you imagine every possible conversation, you promise to change your behavior in certain ways–and you feel more and more anxious until your loved one arrives. But by then, you don’t know what to say. The hours of waiting have been transformed into tension, the tension has become fear, and the fear makes you embarrassed about showing affection.”
