Quotes

A couple weeks ago I added some quotes to my facebook profile. I just didn't have any quotes that I really liked up until that point (except maybe some things that friends had said in passing, like "As long as there are children there will be cages" -Jason Williams), but those kind of quotes are more for my personal satisfaction. Without further ado, here are the two quotes I added:

The first on is by an ancient Iranian poet. Given how long ago it was written and that it had to be translated, I find it quite amazing that it managed to maintain its beauty.

Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth, "You owe me."
Look what happens with a Love like that!
—It lights the whole Sky.
-Hafiz

The next quote is from a lady who was working as the only doctor at a science facility in the South Pole. She diagnosed and treated herself for breast cancer while she was isolated from other medical help during the harsh winter months when no one could enter or leave the facility. She ended up surviving and went on to live a very fulfilling life of service and adventure until she passed away recently.

More and more as I am here and see what life really is, I understand that it is not when or how you die but how and if you truly were ever alive.
- Dr. Jerri Nielsen FitzGerald

Ah, what the heck. Here's another Jason Williams gem:
"Even if it was to an elf maiden, I still wouldn't get married unless it was in the temple."
-Jason Williams

Good ol' Jason... =)
