Quotes

[Sparx]

I mentioned in an essay that I wrote that some quotes I've heard have changed my life. They put everything into a new perspective for me. So discuss quotes.

Which are your favorites?
Which do you hate?


These are some of my favorites:

"everything is okay in the end. so if its not okay right now, its not the end."

"I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;
because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.
I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far;
for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are."

" I've seen things you couldn't imagine. I've done things I preferred you didn't. I've never had a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of bloody calls. So many years and there's only one thing I've ever been sure of... you. I'm not asking you for anything when I say I love you. It's not because I want you, or can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you and I understand with perfect clarity what you are. You're a hell of a woman."

"stick with it. its worth it"

"when we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free"

"I am not the potter, not the potter's wheel, but the potter's clay; is not the value of the shape attained as dependent upon the intrinsic worth of the clay as upon the wheel and the Master's skill?"

"Every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam."

"Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die."

"You must possess chaos in your soul if you wish to be born again as a star."

"The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself."

~Imagineer

i love quotes. if i was to put all of my favourites, id be sitting here all day. just so you all know, im the fastest typer in my grade (weve had keyboarding tests)..so ill just put my very favourite

'even einstein asked questions'

[TinkerTracy]

You probably won't remember the
test you failed, but you will never forget
the person you were with the night before,
when you decided not to study

it's better to be completely ridiculous
than completely boring

if you want to irreplacable
you have to be different.

sometimes things fall apart
just so other things can fall together
but in the end whats meant to be
will always find its way

It's better to cross the line and
suffer the consequences
than to just stare at that line
for the rest of your life.

Life without friends is death without a witness

"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also." - Deathly Hallows

"One day in Iowa there was a strong wind, the kind if wind that seems to go up and down and back and forth. I could hardly see because my hair was blowing around my face. Some of the corn blew almost flat. Lynn and I climbed a ladder to the top of the roof with two boxes of Kleenex. She said to take the Kleenex out one at a time and let the wind catch it. In a few minutes hundreds of tissue sailed over the cornfield and each of them looked like giant butterflies. Lynn could take an ordinary object like a box of Kleenex and use it to prove how amazing the world is." - Kira-Kira

'Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all.”
