Quote by Rachael Lippincott

“If this is all we get, then let's take it. I want to be fearless and free," she says, giving me a look, daring me. "It's just life, Will. It'll be over before we know it.”

“Sometimes from the sea of sadness... arises an aura of light...that closes the door to the melancholy in eyes....it shuts all that is burnt in the battles...and reveals the unburnt and alive.....sometimes from the sea of black and white....arises a painting that portrays the colors....only to carry you to a door of beauty.....for it washes out the dull rain and brings the vivid inside.....and your soul becomes the palette....for your forgotten dreams come to life..... A world of possibilities open for your finger holds the brush....as your eyes envision the beauty beyond despair.....for an imagination arises from the sea of hopelessness.... What once waned as the long lost dreams....forsaken like the dust on the quaint trunk.....is now touched by your soul of colors....for you have engaged in an art.....from the hearth of emotions.....Shaken is the dust,, for the dullness is washed... and the gray is there no more....for there comes the spring rain on your soul....”

“Your entire life can change in the blink of an eye. Storms can come in and rock you to the core. I started to doubt myself, but I eventually learned two unbelievably valuable lessons at that moment: 1. Never doubt yourself. 2. Never stop pursuing your dreams. Setbacks are temporary and a natural occurrence on the road to success. So I figured I better get used to them.”

“Belief in yourself can certainly be difficult and painful, and the process is not effortless. You will constantly battle fear, doubt, negative feedback, and hundreds of other forces. Like gravity, these forces have the ability to continually pull you down. It takes effort to get out of bed, get dressed, and battle all day on your nine-to-five, then be the weekend warrior for your dream.”

“In the last case it is clear that state censorship played its part, but the distortion of dreams should also be understood as psychic protection from the messages they carry. When the energies of the night are wrenched into the day through the process of linguistic representation, repressed desires and wishes can no longer evaporate through a process of forgetting. Benjamin, in One Way Street, equates such writing-up with betrayal, for it is in the moment of transcription that latent desires have to be confronted. Just as the person who wakes up after dreaming betrays the night with food, so too does the writer who reaches for a pen. Censorship operates to protect dreamers from their dreams. Elaboration operates to capture the intensity of the dream-experience against the inadequacies of memory and language.”
