Maggie Smith Quotes
"Good bones can mean “setting things right”—remodeling, making the world better""You could live just a long time alone in your skin and change the locks on the door of your fears""Be ruthless about protecting your light""Sometimes joy is a radical act""On particularly rough days when I'm sure I can't possibly endure I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100% which is pretty good""Even grief has a little calendar so you don't have to remind it where it lives""Keep moving forward through it all""There's no steady way forward to the future we see so we swerve and sway end up someplace new""I’m not sure when you get to a peaceful place in life if that exists but I’m working toward it always""We don't lose the past; it lives in us""Let the world astonish you with its mercy""Keep moving even when it feels useless""The thing to hold onto is that the world also has people in it who find the brokenness and help""Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you""What a blessing, to know what we need each day""The trees keep whispering peace, peace, and the birds in the shallows are full of them""If you find yourself half naked and barefoot in the frosty grass, hearing, again, the earth’s great sonorous moan that says you are the air of the now and gone, that says all you love will turn into peace""The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children."
