Fran LebowitzUncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.
William CongreveWhy should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.
William JamesI think, in my life and in my experience, teens have stress, and everybody's stress is unique, and everybody's frame of reference is different
