Hold on to your power: don't let others squash it. Hold on to your courage: don't let others preach it out of you. Hold on to your independence: don't let others scare it out of you. Author your life without guilt or shame: do not live to please others. Refuse to surrender except to your truest self and your wisest voice.
- Patricia Lynn Reilly

The greater your dreams, the more terrible your nightmares.
