We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter.Denis Diderot

Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.Anne Lamott
