If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character... Would you slow down? Or speed up? -Chuck Palahniuk, Haunted They don't even know what it is to be a fan. Y'know? To truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts. -Almost Famous The future is called "perhaps," which is the only possible thing to call the future. And the only important thing is not to allow that to scare you. -Tennessee Williams It's never too late to be who you might have been. -George Eliot In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flames by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. -Albert Schweitzer Music is the bonding factor between pain and happiness. -Stoney LaRue Maybe it did take a crisis to get to know yourself; maybe you needed to get whacked hard by life before you understood what you wanted out of it. -Jodi Picoult, Handle With Care A shutter is clicked, a flash goes off, and you've stopped time, if just for the blink of an eye. And if these pictures have anything to say to future generations it's this: I was here, I existed, I was young, I was happy. and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture. -One Hour Photo When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on—series polygamy—until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter. -Tom Robbins My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. -Maya Angelou Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do no let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration, for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists… it is real… it is possible… it’s yours. - Ayn Rand The eye is always caught by the light, but shadows have more to say. -Gregory Maguire They say that life only grows short, I say the road only grows long. -The Avett Brothers I was within and without. Simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life. - F. Scott Fitzgerald Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it because you can't know. You can't ever really know the meaning of your life. And you don't need to. Just know that your life has a meaning... Every life has a meaning, whether it lasts one hundred years or one hundred seconds. Every life... And every death... changes the world in its own way. Ghandi knew this. He knew his life would mean something to someone, somewhere, somehow. And he knew with as much certainty that he could never know that meaning. He understood that enjoying life should be of much greater concern then understanding it. And so do I. You can't know. So don't take it for granted, but don't take it too seriously.Don't postpone what you want. Don't leave anything misunderstood. Make sure the people you care about know. Make sure they know how you really feel, because just like that... it could end. -Remember Me |
