{"quotes":[{"text":"He is only one of a million no, a billion stories you could tell about the living beings on just this side of the mountain. The fact is that there are more stories in the space of a single second, in a single square foot of dirt and air and water, then we could tell in a hundred years. The word amazing isn't much of a word for how amazing it is. The fact is that there are more stories in the world than there are fish in the sea or birds in the air or lies among politicians. You could be sad at how many stories go untold, but you could also be delighted at how many stories we catch and share in delight and wonder and astonishment and illumination and sometimes even epiphany.","author":"Brian Doyle","tags":["delighted","epiphany","inspirational","nature","stories"],"id":28020,"author_id":"Brian+Doyle"},{"text":"Some people wish they were as happy as or happy like some people think they are.","author":"Mokokoma Mokhonoana","tags":["aphorism","aphorisms","aphorist","aphorists","appearance","appearances","as-happy-as-a-clam","beaming","beatific","blissful","blithe","buoyant","carefree","cheerful","cheery","chirpy","content","contented","deceive","deception","delighted","ecstatic","elated","euphoric","exhilarated","exultant","first-impression","first-impressions","funny","gleeful","gratified","grinning","happiness","happy","hilarious","humor","humorous","humour","impression","impressions","in-a-good-mood","in-good-spirits","in-seventh-heaven","jocular","jocund","joke","jokes","jolly","jovial","joy","joyful","joyous","jubilant","jumping-for-joy","lighthearted","looks","merry","on-a-high","on-cloud-nine","on-top-of-the-world","over-the-moon","overjoyed","pleased","pretend","pretense","radiant","rapturous","satire","satisfied","smiling","sunny","thrilled","tickled-pink","unhappiness","unhappy","untroubled","walking-on-air"],"id":120243,"author_id":"Mokokoma+Mokhonoana"},{"text":"Let it shine, the light in you.
