Sophia Dembling - On being QUIET

“One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You’re bored. You’re depressed. You’re shy. You’re stuck up. You’re judgemental. When others can’t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.” ~Sophia Dembling (Book: The Introvert's Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World

WILLIAM MARTIN - Children

“Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them.” The extraordinary will take care of itself. ~William Martin (Art: Brandywine Museum of Art) (Book: The Parent's Tao Te Ching

QUEEN MARGRETHE of DENMARK

Extracts:

“Your path in life is already set, for one day you will follow your father, just as he will follow me one day. You become a link in the long historical chain that has bound our country together for centuries.” 

“It can sound violent when you are eighteen years young. It is a challenge, but there is also a sense of security in knowing where you are going and in knowing that others have been in the same situation and have followed the same path. We have always had to feel the responsibility, but we have never failed to feel the warm support that has surrounded us, as you have also experienced from the Castle Square at Amalienborg today.”

~Queen Margrethe,  speech on Crown Prince Christian 18th birthday (October 2023), HOLA
