I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Our Humanityb

"We are all half-baked experiments, mistake-prone beings, born without an instructional manual into a complex world.   None of us are models of perfect behavior; we have all betrayed and been betrayed; we've all been known to be egotistical, unreliable, lethargic, and stingy; and each one of us has, at times., awakened in the middle of the night worrying.   This, in my opinion, is cause for celebration.   We can put down the burden of pretense and get on with being bozos."  Elizabeth Lesser
