I’m not in much of a talkative mood today.. I’m still rather blah.. but I’ve been going through quotes I had saved… I figured I’d post a few. =)
“Worries are like rocking chairs, they give you something to do, but they don’t get you anywhere!” (not sure who said this one)
“We are restless because of incessant change, but we would be frightened if change were stopped.”-Lyman Lloyd Bryson
“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.”-William Arthur Ward
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”-Edith Wharton
“Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” - (not sure who said it)
“What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, ‘This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, ‘Never have I heard anything more divine’?”-Friedrich Nietzsche
“If you do something that turns out wrong, you can almost always put it right, get over it, learn from it, or at least deny it. But once you’ve missed out on something, it’s gone. There will be the girl you never got to say the right words to, the band you never got to see live, the winning streak you never got to cheer on, the brilliant retiring professor whose class you never took, the relative you never got very close with. It’s a long list no matter what. Try to keep it as short as possible.”-Gordon Drizschilo
“The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.”-Ann Landers
“All changes have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die one life before we can enter unto another.”-Anatole France
“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”
“You can explore the universe looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find that person anywhere.”
“Remember no man is a failure who has friends.”-Clarence in It’s a Wonderful Life
“…she was no longer examining life, but being examined by it; she had become a real person.”-E. M. Forster, A Passage to India (for some reason out of all of these, this is my favourite at the moment..)
That’s enough for now, I think.. I’m scared to see how long this post will be.
