Thanks. And I thought thou hast forgotten. You're also the 2nd person who has quoted Douglas Adams to me on this auspicious day. What can I say? Perhaps I need to leave my Harry Potter for a moment to refresh my memory.
It's been forty two years since that day in 1965, yet I still have that feeling. that I would never, could never be alone in my life anymore. That far or near, there would always be somebody who was once a part of me.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
