“I'm inspired by the people I meet in my travels--hearing their stories, seeing the hardships they overcome, their fundamental optimism and decency. I'm inspired by the love people have for their children. And I'm inspired by my own children, how full they make my heart. They make me want to work to make the world a little bit better. And they make me want to be a better man.” PeopleMenWorldWantHeartChildrenLittlesStoriesBitsMy OwnFamilySeeingMy HeartLittle BitOptimismOvercomingFundamentalsInspiredHearingHardshipDecencyBetter Man Author:Barack Obama

“There is a charge For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge For the hearing of my heart - It really goes.

“Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you. Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you. And without feet I can make my way to you, without a mouth I can swear your name. Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you with my heart as with a hand. Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat. And if you consume my brain with fire, I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.” IfsWayFeelsHeartI CanHandsEyeNamesBrainBreakFireSeeingBloodFeetArmsGoes OnMy HeartBeatsMouthsEarsHearingMy WaySwearSealsBreak Off Author:Rainer Maria Rilke
