Be idealistic, give yourself to something big, and remember that you can make a great difference. And, working together, we can and we will build the world of our dreams and a culture of meaning."

And as he, who with laboring breath has escaped from the deep to the shore,
turns to the perilous waters and gazes.

- If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere.
- A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.
I like these.......
1. Be yourself. After all, everyone else is taken."
2. When someone hurts you, assume they'll get their karma/revenge later. If you take it upon yourself to get revenge or hurt them b/c they've hurt you, congrats, you've just earned MORE karma to YOUR list. That person hurting you to begin with was probably karma!
3. Believe in God. You have NOTHING to lose if you die & realize it was all fake. But you have EVERYTHING to lose if you die & realize it was all real.
4. If you always DO what you always DID, you will always GET what you always GOT
5. Relationships (even good ones) are nothing more than 2 people waiting on something better to come along.
6. If love wasn't rare, no one would want it. You know you've truly won the lottery when you've finally obtained the 1 thing most people would/have kill for or kill to have
7. Those who can successfully fake sincerity are the biggest threat to humanity
8. Those who anger you, control you
9. Looking in the mirror & actually changing is harder than any other task in life
10. Hurt people, hurt people.
11. If you're always stuck in bad situations & circumstances of bad judgement, it's b/c you're not your own best friend yet
12. There's no such thing as "getting to know" someone simply b/c it takes an entire lifetime to get to know self, IF that even ever happens
13. They say it's wrong to judge others, BUT yet they also say that you should know when to stay away from certain people/situations. UM, well isn't it true that in order for you to make an informed decision that someone/something isn't right for you that you 1st have to "judge it? It's impossible to know something is bad for you w/o 1st judging it!
14. Always THANK the people who have hurt you. If you play your cards right, you'll actually grow stronger & wiser b/c of those hurts. And technically it's ignorant to shun the source(s) of your own strength!
15. What if you woke up 1 day & realized that the last 10 yrs of your life were actually just a dream!? Can you imagine that! Waking up from a long dream only to realize that you're really only 9 yrs old & that everything you thought was real was all just a big ole dream!?

19. Ever wonder if people come back (reincarnate) as insects, animals or stuffed animals?! Imagine coming back as an ant (that will always get stepped on/squashed) or a teddy bear that always gets tossed around & never played with! Whose to say that human beings are the only form of reincarnation! Ugh, I'd hate to come back as a baseball bat, vibrator or cigarrette!!!!!!!!
20. Forgiveness is NEVER about the other person
21. Unconditional love is a fairy tale. We absolutely DO love people on "condition." A child must be yours in order for you to love it, a woman/man must be faithful in order for you to stay with it, a human must live a righteous life in order to make it to heaven. There's no such thing as unconditional love b/c there are ALWAYS conditions
23. What color is the ocean? Some may say blue, some may say green, some may say clear. The answer to the question is CLEAR. Point is, everyone can be looking at the SAME exact thing, from different OR the same angles & yet come to a DIFFERENT conclusion

24. Happiness is the OPPOSITE of a noun b/c it's def. NOT a person, place or thing. Happiness is a mentality.
25. Whoever started the rumor that "Friendships last forever" was full of shxt!
26. When you've found someone who will stick with you, through all your bullshxt, you know you've found your doormat. When you've found someone who will absolutely walk away from you & not put up with your bullshxt, THEN you've found your SOULMATE! Good relationships require backbones from BOTH people. Sometimes you're stronger for letting go vs. staying
27. Don't be so upset when you've hit rock bottom. The GOOD news is that once you're at the bottom of the pit, the only way to go from there is UP!
28. It'sd be quite shameful to accomplish everything you've ever wanted in life BEFORE you die. The best part of life is in the chase, the challenge & in knowing that you're "almost" there. Once you get to the top, then what?!

"I cannot think well of a man who sports with any woman's feelings; and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a stander-by can judge of."
"Good-humoured, unaffected girls, will not do for a man who has been used to sensible women. They are two distinct orders of being."
"If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out."
"How little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue."
"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously.... Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
Jane Austen
