"Herb Brooks, God rest his soul, wasn’t coaching a dream team. He was coaching a team of dreamers. There is a big difference."

- Jim Craig, The Boys of Winter (via redandnavy)

"Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn’t make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it."

"The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all."

"Looking around at everything covered in snow and with more coming down on us by the minute I thought to myself, ‘The most beautiful things in life always have a contrasting element of danger.’ Anything worth having is going to be hard to get and there are going to be obstacles along the way that make you want to turn back, but those obstacles let you know that you’re doing something right. If it’s easy it wont last."

- Brandon Wronski

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change."

- John F. Kennedy

"Or so we don’t think about how we’re just vulnerable specks trying to survive on a violent, tumultuous planet, at the mercy of hurricanes and volcanoes and asteroids and terrorists and disease and a million other things. We concentrate on having little thoughts so we don’t have big thoughts. You’ve got to ignore the one big truth - life is fatal."

- Deb Caletti, The Nature of Jade
