“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
― Roald Dahl, The Twits

“To shine your brightest light is to be who you truly are.”
― Roy T. Bennett

“Knock, And He’ll open the door
Vanish, And He’ll make you shine like the sun
Fall, And He’ll raise you to the heavens
Become nothing, And He’ll turn you into everything.”
― Jalal Ad-Din Rumi
“dive for dreams
or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots
and wind is wind)trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love
though the stars walk backward)honour the past
but welcome the future
(and dance your death
away at this wedding)never mind a world
with its villains or heroes
(for god likes girls
and tomorrow and the earth)”
— E.E. Cummings
