Quote of the Day (well, two)

“I know this: every man gives his life for what he believes; every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing. And so they give their lives to little or nothing. One life is all we have. And we live it as we believe in living it. And then it is gone. But to surrender who you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dying, even more terrible than dying young.”
– joan of arc

“In the world, it is easy to live after the worlds opinions.
And in solitude, it is easy to live after one's own.
But the great one is he
who in the midst of a crowd
can keep with a perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.”
– ralph waldo emerson
