"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou

"this is what you shall do : love the earth and sun and the animals, despise reaches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants...have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re examine all you have been told at school or church or any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the reachest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body."
-Walt Whitman
