Maya Angelou
“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”
Dalai Lama

Blaise Pascal
“if god himself wills such misery on people whom i love, then i say i will deal with him”
Eldridge Cleaver
