\n\u201cSomewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is using celestial colors to paint your image. Someone is making you into a vision so beautiful that it can only live in the mind. Someone is thinking of the way your breath escapes your lips when you are touched. How your eyes close and your jaw tightens with concentration as you give pleasure a home. These thoughts are saving a life somewhere right now. In some airless apartment on a dark, urine stained, whore lined street, someone is calling out to you silently and you are answering without even being there. So crystalline. So pure. Such life saving power when you smile. You will never know how you have cauterized my wounds. So sad that we will never touch. How it hurts me to know that I will never be able to give you everything I have.” \u2013 Henry Rollins

\n\u201cThe growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.\u201d\u2013 Harvey S. Firestone
\n\u201cThe practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head. Often the best part of your work will have nothing to do with potions and powders, but with the exercise of an influence of the strong upon the weak, of the righteous upon the wicked, of the wise upon the foolish.\u201d \u2013\u00a0William Osler
\n\u201cArt is the great democrat, calling forth creative genius from every sector of society, disregarding race or religion or wealth or color.\u201d \u2013 John Fitzgerald Kennedy
\n\u201cIf you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.\u201d \u2015 \u00c9mile Zola
\n\u201cI don’t tell you this story today in order to encourage all of you in the class of ’04 to find careers in the music business, but rather to suggest what the next decade of your lives is likely to be about, and that is, trying to ensure that you don’t wake up at 32 or 35 or 40 tenured to a life that happened to you when you weren’t paying strict attention, either because the money was good, or it made your parents proud, or because you were unlucky enough to discover an aptitude for the very thing that bores you to tears, or for any of the other semi-valid reasons people marshal to justify allowing the true passion of their lives to leak away. If you’re lucky, you may have more than one chance to get things right, but second and third chances, like second and third marriages, can be dicey propositions, and they don’t come with guarantees…. The question then is this: How does a person keep from living the wrong life?\u201d\u00a0\u2015 Richard Russo

\n\u201cI think it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to grasp your one necessity and not let it go, to dangle from it limp wherever it takes you.\u201d \u2015 Annie Dillard
\n\u201cMy wish simply is to live my life as fully as I can. In both our work and our leisure, I think, we should be so employed. And in our time this means that we must save ourselves from the products that we are asked to buy in order, ultimately, to replace ourselves.\u201d \u2015 Wendell Berry
\n\u201cIf God gives you something you can do, why in God’s name wouldn’t you do it?\u201d \u2015 Stephen King
\n\u201cChange makes you find your calling, your legacy, and God’s divine plan for your life. Don’t run from it.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Iman
