I wish I may
Posted by PJ under desire, quote of the day, wishing
No Comments
Random quote of the day:
“We often use the words wish and desire as though they were one and the same, but I want to say that a wish is a desire with something added. For while a desire can remain quite passive, latent, held within the realm of possibility, a wish…takes aim. It tries to cross the threshold between the possible and the actual. It’s a desire with ambition, a desire poised for action.”
—Noelle Oxenhandler, The Wishing Year

Random quote of the day:
“Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, ‘It can’t be done.'”
—Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn By Living
