Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness.

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. – Martha Washington
The bravest thing you can do when you are not brave is to profess courage and act accordingly. – Corra Harris
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. – Marcel Proust
