I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

~~William Faulkner

People have submitted some deep quotes, as well as some very funny quotes here -- I'm loving reading them! I'm offering two quotes from the same person on the same subject, so it's sort of one quote, sort of not...

"When I dare to be powerful -- to use my strength in the service of my vision -- then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."

"My silence didn't protect me ... your silence will not protect you."

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
