Favorite Quotes:
“The dream is ended: this is the morning.” — Aslan (The Chronicles of Narnia)
"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love." Marcus Aurelius
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived-this is to have succeeded.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
“At a certain point in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by, you will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are, especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself: “But I am this person” And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love.”
— Mrs. Dodger
“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…”
— Timothy Leary
“I can get my head turned by a good-looking guy as much as the next girl. But sexy doesn’t impress me. Smart impresses me, strength of character impresses me. But most of all, I am impressed by kindness. Kindness, I think, comes from learning hard lessons well, from falling and picking yourself up. It comes from surviving failure and loss. It implies an understanding of the human condition, forgives its many flaws and quirks. When I see that in someone, it fills me with admiration.”
— Lisa Unger, Beautiful Lies
I want to rip off your logic and make passionate sense to you. I want to ride in the swing of your hips. My fingers will dig in you like quotation marks, blazing your limbs into parts of speech. I want to whisper poetry into your mind and imprint love letters to your soul and dance with you in an empty white room of potential. Ink will flow through the fingertips of our tongues and the tongues of your fingertips will taste the words written on script. My heart will call out to yours and then we’ll be joined as one, big, beautiful, lyrical monstrosity, tangled within each other’s quotes and philosophies—the heavens will shout down to us and the galaxies will stir. In that one moment, our eyes will caress each others with the tenderness only star-crossed lovers can acquire. We’ll lift off the ground into the enigma of the stars and discover the crevices of the world in which we’ve never dared touch before. The palms of our hands embrace and brazenness replaces apprehension. Together, we’ll be invincible, we’ll wake the universe, they will hear our silent cries, and, holding onto Saturn’s mysterious rings, we will defy gravity.
