The wide world was changing, and she wanted a different place in it.Not just wanted, but felt she deserved.

If you were to ask me what kind of musical sound I aspire to produce, that noise would be a wet nipple sliding across a cheese grater. I’m a sucker for love songs.

Forgetting who you are is so much more complicated than simply forgetting your name. It’s also forgetting your dreams. Your aspirations. What makes you happy. What you pray you’ll never have to live without. It’s meeting yourself for the first time, and not being sure of your first impression.

Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.

Dreams are what guide us, art is what defines us, math is what makes it all possible, and love is what lights our way.

If you hold a candle close to you, its flame rises. And if you hold it away from you, its flame shrinks. The same way you hold a candle close to you, keep all your plans, aspirations, projects, and dreams close to you too. Do not share your plans or goals until you complete them,...

The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations

Freedom to many means immediate betterment, as if by magic. Unless I can meet at least some of these aspirations, my support will wane and my head will roll just as surely as the tickbird follows the rhino.

I’ll have that someday, thought Peter. Someone who’ll kiss me good-bye at the door. Or maybe just someone to put a blindfold over my head before they shoot me. Depending on how things turn out.

Celebrate who you are and what you stand for. Give wings to your dreams and live your aspirations. You’ve got only one life- live it in the best way you possibly can.

The vision of life is not a “discovery”; it’s a “work” and whatever position you occupy demands work. Your life may not be built on your visions if you go high and find yourself doing the vice. Going higher should be a priority; but being aware of the reason for getting there should be the...

Betsy was so full of joy that she had to be alone. She went upstairs to her bedroom and sat down on Uncle Keith’s trunk. Behind Tacy’s house the sun had set. A wind had sprung up and the trees, their color dimmed, moved under a brooding sky. All the stories she had told Tacy...

Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.

Selfish DreamscapesIf you have a dream, as you should, relish in being selfish about building every passionate aspect of it. The crowd of spectators and consumers will still be exactly where you left them… gossiping about everybody else’s dream but their own.

We are on this earth for a very short time. People need to take advantage of the situation given to them. If you want to succeed, there is always away.But instead people put up obstacles and walls and say “It’s impossible,I’m to busy,I don’t have time,I’m to old,I’m not ready.”If you change your thoughts you...

People aspire, learn, and grow when they are ready to commit to the process.

I told you in the course of this paper that Shakespeare had a sister; but do not look for her in Sir Sidney Lee’s life of the poet. She died young–alas, she never wrote a word. She lies buried where the omnibuses now stop, opposite the Elephant and Castle. Now my belief is that this...

when you shoot for the stars, you can’t ever look back.
