Long story.

I miss you all.

I doubled the number. Because there was absolutely nothing else to do for an insomniac.

Unhappy the land that needs heroes.

-

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

False history gets made all day, any day, the truth of the new is never on the news.

-

Anyone who believes you can't change history has never tried to write his memoirs.

History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.

-

We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events.

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?

-

It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake.

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

-

It is always good men who do the most harm in the world.

We frail humans are at one time capable of the greatest good and, at the same time, capable of the greatest evil. Change will only come about when each of us takes up the daily struggle ourselves to be more forgiving, compassionate, loving, and above all joyful in the knowledge that, by some miracle of grace, we can change as those around us can change too.

-

We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache' cases and our three piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.

How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.

-

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

A historian who would convey the truth must lie. Often he must enlarge the truth by diameters, otherwise his reader would not be able to see it.

-

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.

When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.

-

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.

There's nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear.

-

Feelings are not supposed to be logical. Dangerous is the man who has rationalized his emotions.

A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.

-

Readers are plentiful, thinkers are rare.

It is a myth, not a mandate, a fable not a logic, and symbol rather than a reason by which men are moved.

-

He did not arrive at this conclusion by the decent process of quiet, logical deduction, nor yet by the blinding flash of glorious intuition, but by the shoddy, untidy process halfway between the two by which one usually gets to know things.

Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.

-

Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.

-

The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.

 

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.

-

You're searching, Joe, for things that don't exist; I mean beginnings. Ends and beginnings - there are no such things. There are only middles.

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.

-

There is no use worrying about things over which you have no control, and if you have control, you can do something about them instead of worrying.

The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

-

Don't believe your friends when they ask you to be honest with them. All they really want is to be maintained in the good opinion they have of themselves.

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.

-

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

If someone in your life talked to you the way you talk to yourself, you would have left them long ago.

-

I think we all have a little voice inside us that will guide us. It may be God, I don't know. But I think that if we shut out all the noise and clutter from our lives and listen to that voice, it will tell us the right thing to do.

-------------------------------------------

I feel rubbish.
That's all I have to say.
Comment and subscribe, everyone. I promise to reply this time.

10 x 2 = 20. + 4 from last time. :)
I'm sorry that I haven't been replying to comments like I normally do I'm so tired and I just feel... I can't explain.
I'll make it up to you. Promise.

  

If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers. 

-

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.

I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful. 

-

That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful. 

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. 

-

A guy is a lump like a doughnut. So, first you gotta get rid of all the stuff his mom did to him. And then you gotta get rid of all that macho crap that they pick up from beer commercials. And then there's my personal favorite, the male ego.

The name we give to something shapes our attitude toward it.

-

-

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

Teenagers travel in droves, packs, swarms... To the librarian, they're a gaggle of geese. To the cook, they're a scourge of locusts. To department stores, they're a big beautiful exaltation of larks... all lovely and loose and jingly.

 

-

 

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present - love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure - the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth.

 

I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

 

-

 

A good heart will help you to a bonny face, my lad... and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.

 

 

A woman's hopes are woven of sunbeams; a shadow annihilates them.

 

-

 

Happiness is the ability to recognize it.

 

To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.

 

-

 

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

 

People only see what they are prepared to see.

 

-

 

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.

 

The faultfinder will find faults even in paradise.

 

-

 

The world is a great mirror. It reflects back to you what you are. If you are loving, if you are friendly, if you are helpful, the world will prove loving and friendly and helpful to you. The world is what you are.

 

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

 

-

 

Although none of the rules for becoming alive is valid, it is healthy to keep on formulating them.

 

 

I believe that if you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.

 

-

 

Our best friends and our worst enemies are our thoughts. A thought can do us more good than a doctor or a banker or a faithful friend. It can also do us more harm than a brick.

 

A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness.

 

-

 

The best course was to buy a house across a road from a cemetery and look at it every morning. Reminding yourself where it all ended anyway, you'd never get upset about anything again.

 

 

Hate is like acid. It can damage the vessel in which it is stored as well as destroy the object on which it is poured.

 

-

 

Tragedy had its compensations. Once the worst misfortune occurred, one never worried about the minor ones.

 

 

A critic is someone who never actually goes to the battle, yet who afterwards comes out shooting the wounded.

 

-

 

The weak are the most treacherous of us all. They come to the strong and drain them. They are bottomless. They are insatiable. They are always parched and always bitter. They are everyone's concern and like vampires they suck our life's blood.

 

 

We can destroy ourselves by cynicism and disillusion, just as affectively as by bombs.

 

-

 

There are people who have an appetite for grief; pleasure is not strong enough and they crave pain. They have mithridatic stomachs which must be fed on poisoned bread, natures so doomed that no prosperity can sooth their ragged and dishevelled desolation.

 

 

Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.

 

-

 

Choice is the essence of what I believe it is to be human.

 

Once a human being has arrived on this earth, communication is the largest single factor determining what kinds of relationships he makes with others and what happens to him in the world about him.

 

-

 

Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest.

 

 

We make our own criminals, and their crimes are congruent with the national culture we all share. It has been said that a people get the kind of political leadership they deserve. I think they also get the kinds of crime and criminals they themselves bring into being.

 

-

 

Fortunately the family is a human institution: humans made it and humans can change it.

 

 

People are not going to love you unless you love them.

 

-

 

Those who foresee the future and recognize it as tragic are often seized by a madness which forces them to commit the very acts which makes it certain that what they dread shall happen.

 

 

If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.

 

-

 

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Sorry that I don't write the author of the quotes, there is a reason for that. I believe that the quote itself should be admired and that people should not judge it based on the source and I've found that in the past many people have chosen to ignore some simply because of where they come from.
I understand that people may want to see the quotes in context but that's just my personal opinion. If you want to know where any of them come from, just ask. :)

 

I am so sad at the moment. All of the time.
I feel like I dread everything, from sleeping to eating. My friends are a big help but I just don't feel like myself so it's difficult to be fully present in conversations.

I miss BS but I'm trying desperately not to send her a panic email. It'll just worry her. I should be seeing her next week but I even feel daunted by that for some reason.
Thank you to those who offered to let me talk to them. I'd really love to, I'm just not up to explaining things to anyone right now. Your kindness means an awful lot.
Megan, I'm sorting out the letter but things have been hectic.

I don't know how to help myself. I don't know how anyone can help me.
I just feel empty and lost.
Things suck so much.

Like I said, sorry I haven't been replying.
Please comment and subscribe. It's really the only thing keeping me going right now.

How pathetic is that?

Watermelon.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

-

It's weird...you know the end of something great is coming, but you want to hold on, just for one more second...just so it can hurt a little more.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defences, you build up a whole suit of armour, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

-

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

I try to talk to you, but I don't know what to say. I am afraid you don't want me to say anything. So I don't. But inside of me there are words waiting to come out. And tell you how I feel-like how I miss you. And how I love you despite my broken heart. And how I need you in my life. And especially how much I want you. But those words may forever stay in my heart-locked inside. Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too... but I'll never know.

-

People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.

-

It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love; there is only an 'on' ramp.

I'm trying to save her the inevitable pain of being married to yet another man who is in love with her mother.

-

Why do you hate me so much? How could you tell the only person in the world that I love, that I care about so much, how could you tell him to stay away from me? Do you think that the only thing I'll ever do to someone is screw them up? That I'm not worth loving?

I don't think you should take that job. Piano players are sexy, salesmen are uncles.

-

What we've been doing lately is smoking massive amounts of drugs, binging on Entemmann's and listening to old Pink Floyd CD's.

Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.

-

When I was a kid, I thought I was. I can't believe I'm crying already. Sometimes I think people don't understand how lonely it is to be a kid, like you don't matter. So, I'm eight, and I have these toys, these dolls. My favorite is this ugly girl doll who I call Clementine, and I keep yelling at her, You can't be ugly! Be pretty! It's weird, like if I can transform her, I would magically change, too.

You know there are fours words I need to hear before I go to sleep. Four little words. Good night sweet girl. That's all it takes. I'm easy, I know, but a guy who can muster up those four words is a guy I want to stay with.

-

You know in five years you won't even remember me.

I've made the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the only reason I am... you are all my reasons.

-

 You're 32 years old, and you've achieved nothing. Jesus Christ was dead and alive again by 33. You better get crackin'.

Imagine if you suddenly learned that the people, the places, the moments most important to you were not gone, not dead, but worse, had never been. What kind of hell would that be?

-

Her husband was too drunk to know he was too drunk to drive.

Nothing's ever for sure, John. That's the only sure thing I do know.

-

Mathematics... mathematics is never going to lead you to higher truth and you know why? Because it's boring!

Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity.

-

Man is basically good. Man has been wrongly accused of being bad because man did not know about...the reactive mind.

I wouldn't want to live his life because he hasn't been happy all of his life. All I think is if you can find work, stay healthy, find somebody to share it with, you're the ultimate success. He's had some of the pieces of the puzzle, but not all of them.

-

Mathematicians won the war. Mathematicians broke the Japanese codes... and built the A-bomb. Mathematicians... like you. The stated goal of the Soviets is global Communism. In medicine or economics, in technology or space, battle lines are being drawn. To triumph, we need results. Publishable, applicable results. Now who among you will be the next Morse? The next Einstein? Who among you will be the vanguard of democracy, freedom, and discovery? Today, we bequeath America's future into your able hands. Welcome to Princeton, gentlemen.

Do you know what it's like to watch a friend die, Doctor Lambaugh? It's like having a hot iron jammed into your heart... then twisted.

-

I still see things that are not here. I just choose not to acknowledge them. Like a diet of the mind, I just choose not to indulge certain appetites; like my appetite for patterns; perhaps my appetite to imagine and to dream.

Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.

-

I came up with a new game-show idea recently. It's called The Old Game. You got three old guys with loaded guns onstage. They look back at their lives, see who they were, what they accomplished, how close they came to realizing their dreams. The winner is the one who doesn't blow his brains out. He gets a refrigerator.

 

The world will be a better place without me, and it won't even know that you died.

-

Only when faced with losing me do you decide you want to spend the rest of your life with me.

Don't worry. Some of the best movies are made by people working together who hate each other's guts.

-

Well, congratulations, you've got it all laid out for you so you can wallow in pity for yourself. The betrayed woman. The wounded doe with all the drivel that goes with it going through your mind right now. Oh, he doesn't love me at all. He was lying. All those lovely moments, those tender words. He's lying. He's cheap and cruel. Well, maybe I like Lilas. Maybe I like to be cheap once in a while! Maybe everyone does, or don't you remember?

Blood will have blood, they say. Well, there must be no more blood on our souls.

-

Insane asylums are filled with people who think they're Jesus or Satan. Very few have delusions of being a guy down the block who works for an insurance company.

At first, after the breakup, you'll have these visions. Of you alone, 57, 58, walking around, wearing a nightgown, your hair in a bun, maybe you're a librarian, heating up a can of soup for one, and worrying about the cobwebs that are growing in your womb.

-

Find a truly original idea. It is the only way I will ever distinguish myself. It is the only way I will ever matter.

Sometimes I don't think people realize how lonely it is to be a kid.

-

If you ain't laughing, you ain't living, baby.

There's no point in being nuts if you can't have a little fun.

-

You don't tell me things, Joel. I'm an open book. I tell you everything, every damn, embarrassing thing.

I don't know for sure exactly how Andy got elected six months ago in the first place, but all I do know is that nobody meant for it to happen. It's like the ugly girl in high school who gets picked for prom queen. It ain't nice, but some A-hole thinks it's funny and nominates her, and then other people start voting for her thinking no one else is gonna and pretty soon, KAPOW!, the school is stuck with Sheriff Andy for prom queen.

-

The only Valentine's Day cards I get are from my mother. How pathetic is that?

Adults are, like, this mess of sadness and phobias.

-

There are millions of people in this world. But in the end, it all comes down to one.

You know how it is, the beginnings? When you first fall in love and you can't eat, you can't sleep and getting a call from her, it makes your day. It's like seeing a shooting star.

-

If only I could meet someone new. I guess my chances of that happening are somewhat diminished, seeing that I'm incapable of making eye contact with a woman I don't know.

Look at Paul. With his models on the wall, his dog named Elle McPherson. He's insane. He's obsessed. You're all obsessed. If you had an ounce of self-esteem, of self-worth, of self-confidence, you would realize that as trite as it may sound, beauty is truly skin-deep. And you know what, if you ever did hook one of those girls, I guarantee you'd be sick of her.

-

I wanted to understand as much as I could about the procedure as possible... I think it's important for my job to understand the inner workings of the work that we do, well not that I do, but the work that is done by people where I also work, the work of my colleagues.

[Life is very beautiful.]

I've gotten used to ignoring them and I think, as a result, they've kind of given up on me. I think that's what it's like with all our dreams and our nightmares, Martin, we've got to keep feeding them for them to stay alive.

-

Because he was a drunk, you're a drunk. Because he loved women, you're a tramp. But you forget one thing: he did it with style.

You can be anywhere when your life begins. When the future opens up in front of you. And you may not even realize it at first, but it's already happening.

-

Thank God, is it? Well, you'd better pray harder, because he's the only one who's going to help you now.

I don't know if I want to be a pretend role model to thousands of little girls... or a real role model to one.

-

Supermodels are beautiful girls, Will. A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high full of the single greatest commodity known to man - promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

Don't tell them they are wrong if you can't prove them wrong.

-

You can not say you know how to do something, until you can teach it to someone else.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

-

The next time you think you're perfect, try walking on water.

When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

-

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Exams are officially over. I miss school, but I'm back on Monday.
I literally cannot wait.
Also, I do have friends by the way. I'm not Charlie.
I just have an unnatural love for school. :)
Probably because my life at home truly sucks, my family congregate there really.
Plus I get to see BS and Mezzles and Bowley which makes it doubley splendid.

How are your lives, darlings?

(I'm still holding out for recipes. Here's the deal. One recipe = 5 pictures. Would that be nice?)

Miles

Consider this my way of battling insomnia.
Around 100 pictures, each with quotes.
Enjoy.

Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.

-

Love cannot be found where it doesn't exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does.

Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it's everything in between that makes it all worth living.

-

A life without love, is no life at all.

Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?

-

Forever is a long time and time has a way of changing things.

I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours.

-

And all the while I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a crowded room, screaming at the top of my lungs, and no one even looks up.

The truth is... I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart... and I never really got it back.

-

Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They are shooting stars, spectacular moments of light from heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity and in a flash there gone.

Oh yes, the past can hurt. But, you can either run from it or, learn from it.

-

We are who we choose to be.

Even when you're not sure where you're headed, it helps to know you're not going there alone. No one has all the answers, and sometimes the best thing to do is just apologize and let the past be the past. Other times we need to look to the future and know that even when we think we've seen it all, life can still surprise us, and we can still surprise ourselves.

-

When a defining moment comes along, you can do one of two things. Define the moment, or let the moment define you.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

-

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.

We're women. We don't say what we want, but we reserve the right to be pissed off if we don't get it.

-

I didn't come back to tell you that i can't live without you. I can live without you. I just don't want to.

If you're not willing to risk it all, then you don't want it bad enough.

-

It's not that I'm afraid of dying, it's that I'm afraid of time. You know, not having enough of it.

I guarantee that we'll have tough times. I guarantee that sooner or later one, or both of us will want to get out. But I also guarantee that if I dont ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.. because I know in my heart you're the only one for me.

-

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.

-

We walk away from our dreams afraid we may fail, or worse yet, afraid we may succeed.

Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it, because if we actually felt how much we loved them.. It would kill us.

-

Calling someone fat doesnt make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesnt make you any smarter. All you can do in life is try and solve the problem in front of you.

I guess that's what happens at the end: you start thinking about the beginning.

-

I can only show you the door. You're the one who has to walk through it.

There are some hurts that you never completely get over. And you think that time will diminish their presence and to a degree it does, but it still hurts because well, hurt hurts.

-

All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone to make us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, someone perfect is searching for us.

A gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it.

-

If someone took everything you live for... How far would you go to get it back?

You know what it's like getting up every morning? Feeling hopeless, feeling like the love of your life is waking up with the wrong man. But, at the same time hoping that she still finds happiness, even if it's never going to be with you.

-

Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake up from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world, and the real one? 

 

Honestly, if you're not willing to sound stupid you don't deserve to be in love.

-

Never hate your enemies, it affects your judgement.

Kid, there are heroes and there are legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

-

There are two kinds of evil people in this world, ok? People who do evil stuff and people who see evil stuff being done and don't do anything about it.

The first casualty of war is innocence.

-

'Fear tends to trump logic.'
'Depends how logical you are.'
'Or how afraid.'

They say, when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that's true. What they don't tell you is that when it starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up.

-

Sometimes it's easier to be mad at the people you trust because you know that they'll always love you no matter what you say.

How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on? When in your heart, you begin to understand, there is no going back. There are some things that time cannot mend, some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold.

-

Everybody's hell is different. It's not all fire and pain. The real hell is your life gone wrong.

When a woman who has much to say says nothing, her silence can be deafening.

-

The way to keep someone alive is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn. People die. But true love lives forever.

You can't change the one you love. You're not supposed to.

-

But if you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you though. I remember everyone that leaves.

Some memories are best forgotten.

-

Some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

All my life I always wanted to fly. I always wanted to live like a hawk. I know you're not supposed to be jealous of anything, but... to take flight, to soar above everything and everyone, now that's living.

-

If along the way you act like someone you're not, pretty soon that's who you become.

'Without suffering there would be no compassion.'
'Yeah, well tell that to those who suffer.'

-

I look up to those people who have lost everything, yet love others beyond themselves.

Find someone who you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. You have to try, because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.

-

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

Miracles, no matter how inexplicable or unbelieveable, are real and can occur without regard to the natural order of things.

-

Look at the stars. Same stars as last week. Last year. When we were kids. When we weren't even born. In a hundred years, no one will ever know who we were... They'll know those same stars.

When life makes you have to put up with mean and hateful people, think of them as sandpaper. They may scratch you, rub you the wrong way, but eventually you end up smooth and polished...and the sandpaper...its just gonna be worn out and ugly.

-

Sometimes the simplest idea can make the biggest difference.

I think I'd miss you, even if we'd never met.

-

You never see the hard days in a photo album... but those are the ones that get you from one happy snapshot to the next.

The things you own end up owning you.

-

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

And I watch with a breaking heart as you slowly fade away. I find myself straining to remember everything about this moment, everything about you. But soon, always too soon, your image vanishes and the fog rolls back to its far away place and I am alone on the pier and I do not care what others think as I bow my head and cry and cry and cry.

-

I wonder how many people never get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to have?

Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable.

-

When you fall in love it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.

The truth is... well, the truth is, I have met the right person, and he's not in love with me, and until I stop loving him, no one else really has a chance.

-

You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.

-

Cities fall but they are rebuilt. Heroes die but they are remembered.

Who needs him? I found two new men to love... Their names are Ben and Jerry.

-

Love is like listening music from another room, you sing along, because you like the song, but then the door closes and a train passes by, you can't hear it anymore, but you keep singing the song.. then the door opens and you can finally listen again.


This is for us, for everyone who had an opportunity to become negative and decided to go the other way. For every father who had to be a mother and every mother who had to be a father, and everyone who had a dream and was told it couldn't happen.

-

What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you love. That's what matters. That's the only thing that counts.

I mean high school? High school - those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that.

-

I sometimes feel as if I'm invisible, as if no one can see me at all.

Some fairy tales are true, most of them are stories we make up to help us deal with real life. It all depends on your point of view.

-

I mean, we're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.

Doesn't every girl just want that relationship that they see in the movies, you know the one where you sneak behind everyone's back just to spend time with the one you love because you love them so much you're willing to lie to everyone to just be with them.

-

Life is pain, anyone that tells you otherwise is selling something.

Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it.

-

We hurt too much, we feel too much, and all too soon, we die. But we do get a chance at love.

Happy endings are stories that just haven't ended yet.

-

From here on out, I am only interested in what is real.. real people, real feelings, that's it, that's all I'm interested in.

You can be anywhere when your life begins but if you meet the right person anything's possible.

-

What easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.

A heart can be broken; but it keeps beating just the same.

-

It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself.

Why long for things if they're not meant to be ours?

-

If a gnat dived into your pool of knowledge, it would break its neck.

There is no such thing as coincidence, just the illusion of coincidence itself.

-

When you're twelve, without effort, you live in the moment. You don't regret the past or worry about the future.

So how does it happen, great love? Nobody knows... but what I can tell you is that it happens in the blink of an eye. One moment you're enjoying your life, and the next you're wondering how you ever lived without them.

-

I'd rather do nothing and be happy than do something I know I don't love.

The men may be the head of the house but the women are the neck and they can turn the head anyway they want.

-

Sadness is easier because it's surrender. I say make time to dance alone with one hand waving free.

All my life, everybody has seen me a certain way. What do you see?

-

Everything starts with a wish.

Our future isn't written. Life is made from the choices that we make.

-

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.

I'd rather spend one minute holding you than the rest of my life knowing i never could.

-

No one knows where thoughts come from, they just appear.

There are some things you can't share without ending being friends.

-

We may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but, for the first time let's just allow ourselves to be whatever it is that we are.

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.

-

We've both done some terrible things to each other, but we have to forgive each other. Or everything we ever were will be nothing.

I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.

-

What no-one ever sees is that there's this whole other part of me that's just like you: quiet, and-and stubborn, and afraid of showing too much... and then I met someone who changed everything and he showed me that I can take a chance even when it's only for a moment.

Some wounds are too deep or close to the bone. No matter how hard you work at it... you just can't stop the bleeding.

-

Loneliness is the human condition. No one is ever going to fill that space. The best you can do is know yourself... know what you want.

Life isn't all sunshines and rainbows. It is a mean and nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permenantly if you let it.

-

You can live for the past, or you can live for the future. Just pick one and be faithful to it.

It's a mystery of human chemistry, and I don't understand it. Some people, as far as your senses are concerned, just feel like home.

-

'A heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others.

Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.

-

Girls flirt with the dangerous guy, they don't bring him home. They marry the good guy, the one that sticks around.

Why are you being so hypocritical? You're the one who walks around saying screw the world because its easier that having to feel anything!

-

Things will happen in your life that you can't stop. But that's no reason to shut out the world.

When you find the place where your heart belongs you'll never leave.

-

There is a difference between knowing the road and walking on it.

Sometimes life is hard for no reason at all.

-

I'm going to wait for you, but it's going to be hard since you live so far away. I'm going to miss you so much, but just remember I really do love you and will never forget you and will always be there waiting for you.

The first time I crashed and burned, and the second time, I don't know yet, but it's looking good so far.

-

There's nothing bigger in life than the little things.

You have to learn to walk. You have to learn to talk. You have to wear that totally ridiculous hat your grandma bought you. You have no say in the matter. And when you get a little older, even though you get to choose your hats, you don't get to choose what they put in those meatballs in the cafeteria, or when to fall in love. Sometimes things happens and you just have to deal.

-

For in dreams, we enter a world that is entirely our own.

Failure teaches us that life is but a draft of long rehearsal for a show that will never play.

-

My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying, "I'm sorry," all the past can be corrected.

There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love.

-

By all means continue destroying my possessions. I daresay I have too many.

I don't think that getting out is going to be your problem. It's more about what you're gonna do when you get somewhere.

-

You don't wanna be in love, you wanna be in love in a movie.

No matter how your heart is aching, there is beauty in the breaking.

-

Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time he does something that tells you he's no good, you ignore it. And every time he comes through and suprises you, he wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that he's not for you.

We're all looking for reasons and people to blame for our unhappiness, reasons why we don't deserve to be loved.

-

It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?

I wish I knew how to quit you.

-

Maybe God has a bigger plan for me than I had for myself. Like this journey never ends. Like you were sent to me because I'm sick. To help me through all this. You're my angel.

There are no unsuitable movies; only unsuitable audiences.

-

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.

This one, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back.

-

Some favours you are not allowed to pay back.

But only in their dreams can man be truly free. Twas always thus, and always thus will be.

-

Time's not on my watch anymore. Time does not exist here. And wherever it went, it's not going to make me need you any less.

Sometimes all somebody needs is a good chance.

-

We all used to try so hard to fit in. We wanted to look exactly alike, do all the same things, practically be the same person, but when we weren't looking that all changed. The tree house was supposed to bring us more independence, but what the summer actually brought was independence from each other.

Marriage is like a tense, unfunny version of Everybody Loves Raymond, only it doesn't last 22 minutes. It lasts forever.

-

Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.

What if I’m not a superhero? What if I’m the bad guy?

-

Most people only see life in black and white. They don't realise that there's a grey area somewhere in the middle... that's where we should live.

It is strange to think, I haven't seen you since a month. I have seen the new moon, but not you. I have seen sunsets and sunrises, but nothing of your beautiful face. The pieces of my broken heart are so small that they could be passed through the eye of a needle. I miss you like the sun misses the flower; like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct its light to, the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to. I next compete in the city of Paris, I will find it empty and in the winter if you are not there. Hope guides me, that is what gets me through the day and the night. The hope that after you're gone from my sight, it will not be the last time that I look upon you.

-

I guess it's hard for people who are so used to things the way they are - even if they're bad - to change. 'Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses.

You will never know love unless you surrender to it.

-

We all grow up someday, we might as well know what we want.

You cannot leave everything to Fate. She's got a lot to do. Sometimes you must give her a hand.

-

I'm obsessed. And as we all know, obsessed girls can't be held responsible for their actions... can they?

You're not a bad person, you're just a good person who has bad things happen to them.

-

Fairytales might not come true but dreams do.

 

You must know, surely you must know, that it was all for you. You've bewitched me, body and soul, and I love you.

-

Everything here is eatable. I'm eatable. But that my children is called cannibalism and is frowned upon in most societies.

I never gave much thought to dying. But dying in the place of someone I love seems, like a good way to go.

-

Little idiosyncrasies that only I knew about. Those made her my wife. And she had the goods on me too. Little things I do out of habit. People call these things imperfections Will. It's just who we are. And we get to choose who we're going to let into out weird little worlds. You're not perfect. And let me save you the suspense, this girl you met isn't either. The question is, whether or not you're perfect for each other. You can know everything in the world, but the only way you're findin' that one out is by giving it a shot.

There is fate, but it only takes you so far, because once you're there its up to you to make it happen.

-

I want to jump in front of every cab I see, because maybe then I'll stop thinking about her.

I usually make up my mind about a man in ten seconds; and I very rarely change it.

-

I won't stay here and let my life live for me.

Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And a good thing never dies.

-

I've made the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the only reason I am... you are all my reasons.

How do you hold on to someone you've never met?

-

When you dance with the devil, you wait for the song to stop.

Even a good decision if made for the wrong reasons can be a bad decision.

-

A man has only one lifetime. But history can remember you forever.

Death is kinda like a plate of home-made apple pie that falls on the ground. No matter how good it would have been, you just dont want it anymore.

-

There are some things that are nothing more than what they are, they're not meant to last. They just take their place in your heart and make you a little smarter the next time.

You gotta make something explode to really understand it.

-

You see, the thing with trains is that is doesn't matter where it is going, it only matters that you got on.

 

Destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental.

-

I would rather be a ghost, drifting by your side as a condemned soul than enter heaven without you. Because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit.

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

-

I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything. And when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese... I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.

Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.

-

If you never give up you can never fail.

This is a battle, a war, and the casualties could be your hearts and souls.

-

What makes a legend? Is it what they did when they were alive or how they are remembered when they're gone?

The sun goes up and then it comes down, but every time that happens what do you get? You get a new day. You get a new one.When you breathe, you inhale and you exhale, but every single time that you do that you're a little bit different then the one before.

-

Courage is the key that opens every door.

The heart dies a slow death, shedding each hope like leaves. Until one day there are none.

-

Love is many things, but one thing that it isn't and can never be is unsure.

I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. Those are the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, and blind people, the crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because it's very lucky to be miserable.

-

All that stuff you hear on TV about communication and expressing your feelings is a lie. No one really cares what you have to say.

I know how you feel. You expect to screw up, you expect to fail. If you want to win, you got to let them go, you got to forgive them.

-

The only part of you that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life. If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, then all you'll see are devils, tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.

Men will never fail to do what is in their nature to do.

-

I've been running around for the last year trying to find some clarity, and all of a sudden I am so clear, and it's ridiculous. I want to be with you.

I want you to take a moment, and I want you to look each other in the eyes. I want you to put each other in your hearts forever because forever is about to happen here in just a few minutes.

-

The way sadness works is one of the strange riddles of the world. If you are stricken with a great sadness, you may feel as if you have been set aflame, not only because of the enormous pain, but also because your sadness may spread over your life, like smoke from an enormous fire. You might find it difficult to see anything but your own sadness, the way smoke can cover a landscape so that all anyone can see is black. You may find that happy things are tainted with sadness, the way smoke leaves its ashen colors and scents on everything it touches. And you may find that if someone pours water all over you, you are damp and distracted, but not cured of your sadness, the way a fire department can douse a fire but never recover what has been burnt down.

Give me a man who is man enough to give himself just to the woman who is worth him, and I would love him alone, and forever.

-

There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it.

There's some things you should wish for and some things you shouldn't. That's what my little brother Frankie told me. He told me I only had three wishes, and I looked into his eyes, and I don't know why I believed him.

-

And they were called to war by their country but in the end they fought not for their country or their flag but for the men they fought beside, their brothers-in-arms.

You know when I said I know little about love, that wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it; centuries and centuries of it. And it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars, pain and lies, hate, made me want to turn around and never look down again. But to see the way that humankind loves; I mean, you could search the farthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So, yes, I know that love is unconditional but I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable, and strangely easy to mistake for loathing. And what I'm trying to say Tristin is, I think I love you! My heart, it feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it doesn't belong to me anymore, it belongs to you. And if you wanted it I'd wish for nothing in exchange. No gifts, no goods, no demonstrations of devotion, nothing but knowing you love me too. Just your heart in exchange for mine.

-

I believe that what does not kill you makes you... stranger.

You won't believe how long that took me.
I can't sleep. I don't want another nightmare.
It's almost nine in the morning where I am and I haven't been to sleep.

It seems to me that the longer the update, the less comments I receive.
Which surely makes no sense.
Prove me wrong?
I sure need it.
