The Road / Cormac McCarthy

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, don't you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
Cormac McCarthy, The Road
"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,
except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."

Dr. Seuss

"Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Dr. Seuss

I was flipping through the year book and this is the first sentence Alexa had written for her senior shout-out. (What am I going to do every morning without my breakfast buddy to take out the raisins from our Raisin Bran?) 

What Dr. Seuss (our Dartmouth alum!) said is so true. I am going to be who I am, and say what I feel, because I don't mind and I would like to matter.
