Quote by Michelle Obama

“For me, becoming isn't about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forwards motion, a means of evolving a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn't end.”

Many horrified tourists, afloat on the river for a view of the waterfront, find themselves agape at the sight of a distended human corpse. All of this adds, too, to the rising pollution of the Ganga, whose waters only the most devout would now consider pure.”

“I had always thought that I was fine with being alone. Halfway through high school, I moved from Brazil to America, and it took me forever to make friends. I had culture shock of virtually every kind, besides which I was awkward, geeky, and shy. So I ate alone, telling myself that it was fine while I watched other people have normal conversations with their friends.”

“I am the story teller, charged with the secrets of this world and beyond. I am the calm in the storm, the quiet in the quake and the stillness in the dark. I am the old lady with the pot of water when you are dying of thirst. I am the sapling after the forest fire and the child who survives after pestilence. For those who will listen, hear you the first secret. Love is the sea in which all of nature exists and the greatest love of all is that which is spilled for another.”
