Nellie Curtiss

Never drown a word meant for ears to hear.

Keep humor alive and you stay alive longer too.

If I am unaware of love, I live drably. If I become intoxicated with love, I live in dreamland. If I recognize love, and shake his hand then comfort, dreams, and sometimes intoxication become mine to drench in and give away as well.

Just because I was born doesn't give me the right to scorn and devalue you or let you try to diminish me. Instead, my rights are to make sure that I control myself and recognize your right to control yourself.
