Random quote of the day:

 

“We often use the words wish and desire as though they were one and the same, but I want to say that a wish is a desire with something added. For while a desire can remain quite passive, latent, held within the realm of possibility, a wish…takes aim.  It tries to cross the threshold between the possible and the actual. It’s a desire with ambition, a desire poised for action.”

—Noelle Oxenhandler, The Wishing Year
