"Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself- to serve"

"I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve"

"Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."

martin luther king jr. 

"what horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age."

"marry your best friend. i do not say that lightly. really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. someone who speaks highly of you. someone you can laugh with. the kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. the embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. wit is important. life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. despair will come. find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. a love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark."

if all love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
