We make extensive lists. We make lists of all that is broken about ourselves; we also have long lists of what we should be doing, and aren’t doing yet; we have lists of regrets, lists of complaints, and lists of “it will never happen.” But today, let us start a new list entitled All That Is Possible with Me. It starts like this: I can hold someone’s hand; I can read a book; I can become president; I can feel the cold and the warm; I can color any page blue if I want; I can breathe; I can smile.
- Barbara A. Croce
I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
