Even those who venture to dip a toe in the pond of risk never allow themselves to get used to the water.

The original lists were probably carved in stone and represented longer periods of time. They contained things like 'Get More Clay. Make Better Oven.'

There comes a time in some relationships when no matter how sincere the attempt to reconcile the differences or how strong the wish to recreate a part of the past once shared, the struggle becomes so painful that nothing else is felt and the world and all its beauty only add to the discomfort by providing cruel contrast.

Lists today are a way of trying to get through the day, because we are losing a sense of time.

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
