“In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to.
Little things usually: remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind-in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved.
No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles.
When they are lighted, darkness goes away-and a touch of wonder remains.”
—“These Small Candles”

Some birds aren’t meant to be caged.
Their feathers are just too bright.
And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.
But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone.
I guess I just miss my friend.
- Morgan Freeman (The Shawshank Redemption)

I know what it’s like to want to die.
How it hurts to smile.
How you try to fit in but you can’t.
How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside.

If cannabis were unknown,and bioprospectors were suddenly to find it in some remote mountain crevice, its discovery would no doubt be hailed as a medical breakthrough. Scientists would praise its potential for treating everything from pain to cancer, and marvel at its pharmacopoeimamany.”
