Patience is the art of hoping -Vauvenargues

Don't judge me before you know me. The more you use your eyes the less you see

I learned it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong -L. Rosten

I don't know if I'm running because I'm scared or if I'm scared because I'm running. - Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation

It ain’t what they call you, it’s what you answer to. ~V. C. Fields

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian. ~Dennis Wholey

When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap. ~Cynthia Hiemel

Being happy doesn’t mean things are perfect, it just means you’ve decided to look past the imperfections.

You begin to learn that kisses aren't a contract and presents arent promises.
You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and eyes open, You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrows ground is too uncertain. After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much of it. So plant your own garden instead of waiting for somebody else to bring you flowers.

That's the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along. ~ Lisa Alther

Regret for the things we do can be tampered with time, it is regret for the things we do not do that is inconsolable. ~Sydney J. Harris

Let no man pull you so low as to make you hate him. ~ Booker T. Washington

If only closed minds came with closed mouths. -Nicole Aitoro

You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm. ~Colette

I’m a first believer in the power of change. But there is one thing I’ve learned, and that’s the hardest part of moving forward is not looking back. ~ Felicity

Some things ain't meant to be. The best things in life are free, And tomorrow is another day.. Funny how the truth sounds so cliche (Jack Ingram)

Lose everything and what is real will still remain

It's not what you've been through; it's how you deal with what you've been through

Rocks break, everything changes, even when you think youre sure, especially. To be fair, if I was one of the fates looking down at the best laid plans of dumb little people, probably see mine and want to mess with them too. You wanna know about me in 500 words? I get scared sometimes, I'm disappointed, I have doubts and I love gettin' my way. I don't like change but I know its good for me and inevitable, so I welcome it as best I can. There's a poem by Yoham Framm that says it better than I will " Defy the old dragon, defy fear. The world may rage and quake, but I shall remain singing in perfect peace." Yeah things happen, things you don't expect, or want, or like. The world rages and you become someone you didn't know you'd ever be. And there you are, in your clothes, in your life, this is my future, this is me. This is me and I want things I never thought I would, I want the possibilities a school like princeton can afford. A place to grow, meet new people, a place for surprise when life turns out to be nothing I imagined... and to be grateful for it. In perfect peace. -everwood
