15 quotes I love

I pulled from a few posts ("15 quotes that give me comfort"; "15 quotes/sayings to put on rocks"; "15 RBG quotes"). 

  1. "You’re braver than you believe and stronger and smarter than you think."—Christopher Robin, Carter Crocker
  2. "I am my own muse"—Frida Kahlo
  3. "If you're going through Hell, keep going."—Winston Churchill
  4. "Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.                                                                                                      Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.                                                                Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?                                                                                  Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."—J.R.R. Tolkien
  5. "I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship"—Louisa May Alcott
  6. "And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good."—John Steinbeck
  7. "Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."—Frankenstein's creature, Mary Shelley
  8. "So, when all that’s left of me is love, give me away."—Merrit Malloy
  9. "I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks."—Ruth Bader Ginsburg
  10. "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."—John Lewis
  11. "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. But remember this: You have friends here. You're not alone."—Dumbledore
  12. "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."—Barack Obama
  13. "We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?"—Ursula K. Le Guin
  14. "Learn as if you were to live forever."—Mahatma  Gandhi
  15. "Truth is powerful and it prevails."—Sojourner Truth

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...
