* I know I have a heart because I can feel it breaking. ~ The Wizard of Oz

* Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because 
they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, 
but EASY...so the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're AMAZING. They just have 
to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's BRAVE enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

* When you're in jail, a good friend will be trying to bail you out. A best friend 
will be in the cell next to you saying, "Damn, that was fun." 

* Never say "I love you" if you really don't care. Never talk about feelings if they aren't really there. Never hold 
my hand if you're going to break my heart. Never say you're going to if you don't plan to start. Never look
into my eyes if all you do is lie. Never say hello if you really mean goodbye. If you really mean 
forever then say you will try. Never say forever 'cause forever makes me cry.

I'll be waiting. That's where I'll always love you. ~ Tinkerbell

* Left, right, left, right, left, left...OH CRAP! (in reference to a not-so-bright person walking down stairs)

* When they ask me what I liked best, I'll say it was you. ~ City of Angels

* Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. ~ George Carlin

* A girl asked a boy if she was pretty. He said no. She asked him if he wanted to be with her forever. He said no. She 
then asked him if he would cry if she walked away. He again said no. She had heard too much. She needed to leave. As she 
walked away, he grabbed her arm and told her to stay. He said: "You're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don't want to be 
with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die."

* You know, I've heard an old old theory from back in the day, and it simply stated that the human heart beat is a 
timer for our lives... that we're only given so many heartbeats in a lifetime. I don't know if that's true or not, but 
if it is, then I just wanted to thank you for prolonging my life... for every time I see you, my heart skips a beat. ~ Spinner

the times we shared? And the even bigger question is does he even care enough to want to remember?

* As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes. ~ Mel Brooks

* So as of right now, I know what's best for me. And that's to get over him, even though I can't. My life is still 
lingering over easy drop of love he has ever giving me. Even though I may not have always seen that love, I know it was 
still there, and like a fool, I let go of something so special to me, it was something I never knew I needed. And I had 
him...and now as every tear I cry, I watch him slip further and further away from me. And it's my fault. It's my fault 
I let him make me cry, and it's my fault I am dealing with pain and misery. But if this is love...I'd do it all over again.

burst. But the ones who leave their footprints on your soul are the ones that keep your life going. ~ Natalie Bernot

* Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones 
who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. You can quote them. Disagree with them. Glorify or villify them. 
But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And 
while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can 
change the world, are the ones who do.

* We fear the thing we want the most. ~ Robert Anthony

* Little things console us because little things afflict us.

* Screw you, I'm brilliant. ~ Save the Last Dance

* If confusion is the first step to knowledge, I must be a genius. 

* I'm so afraid to care about someone. I know it seems like I'm this strong girl who can get through everything, but inside 
I'm very fragile. I've had so many things thrown at me, and each one has only made a crack. What I'm afraid of is shattering.

* We could learn a lot from crayons: some are pretty, some dull, some have weird names,

* Have you ever heard a song from so long ago with so many memories tied to it that it made you cry? And didn't you 
wish that you could go back into time when everything seemed so much simpler and more carefree? Those are the songs

memories, best friends, first love, first heartbreak...the memories. ~ Lisa Gilbert

* Growing up is full of big moments. Some of them you can see coming from a 
mile away and some you can't see at all. ~ The Wonder Years

* Our planet is the mental institution for the universe.

* We've gone to school for 13 years and they've never taught us how to say goodbye.

* We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is 
heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. 
It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. 
Because we are left with memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. ~ The Mirror Has Two Faces

* I learned that friendships can change and it's okay for it to change, and as long as you both accept these changes, you 
can still manage to be closer than ever. I learned that going to college means making choices. I learned that it's 
okay to ask for help, and it's okay to feel like crap. I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't 
have. I learned that the greatest things about college aren't the parties or the drinking...or the hookups. It's the 
chances. Taking the chances and then making the most of them. I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget 
are the things which we most need to talk about. I learned that once you get to college, 
things don't automatically get better...it's what you make of them. ~ Steve's profile

* It's kind of fun to do the impossible. ~ Walt Disney

* No doubt exists that all women are crazy, it's only a question of degree. ~ W.C. Fields

* You can lead a boy to college, but you can't make him think. ~ Elbert Hubbard

* Do not wait for ideal circumstances, they never come. ~ Janet Erskine Stuart

* Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It's for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in 
exchange for a little time with the one they care for more than anything. It's for those knowing a good thing when 
they see it even if they don't see it nearly enough.

* No one will ever win the battle of the sexes...there's too much fraternizing with the enemy. ~ Henry Kissinger

* Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile. 
So when you are lonely, remember this is true: somebody, somewhere, is thinking of you.

* It's only fun if you can get into trouble!

* Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up 
your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build 
up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid 
person, wanders into your stupid life...you give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something 
dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets 
inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness. So simple a phrase like "maybe we should be just 
friends" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. 
Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. ~ Neil Gaiman

* I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you 
can see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. ~ Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

* Don't follow in my footsteps...I walk into a lot of walls.

* They say if you love something let it go, but what if you aren't that strong?

* We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help when in need. ~ Epicurus

* You lifted me up when I could not lift up myself, you made me smile when I forgot 
how to, you were there for me in my times of need, and you were there for me when I needed nothing at all.

* You live and you breathe and then you die. In between, if you're lucky, you fall in love. Some loves stay forever, 
others are lost in only a day. But it's still there, underneath all the hurt and pride and years. If it's true love, 
it's never forgotten. So when someone says they're in love, don't tell them they can't be. Don't say they're too young, 
or it's too soon. Love knows no age or length of time. Love is a feeling, deep in 
your heart, that squeezes you tight and you never want to let it go.

* Each person's life is lived as a series of conversations. ~ Deborah Tannen

* Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing. ~ David Letterman

* When you have no one in your life who you can call and say, "I'm scared," then your life is uninteresting, 
unfulfilling, superficial. You need somebody you can trust enough to say, "I need help." ~ Steven Soderbergh

* Don't count the days, make the days count.

* Starkle, starkle, little twink, who da hell you are I think. I'm not as drunk as some thinkle peep I am. Besides, 
I've only had tee martoonies and all day sober to Sunday up in. I fool so feelish, I don't know 
who's me yet, but the drunker I sit here, the longer I get. 

* Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?" Then a 
voice says, "This is going to take more than one night." ~ Charlie Brown

* Music is the soundtrack of your life. ~ Dick Clark

* You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. ~ Robin Williams 

* Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars. ~ Joan L. Curcio

* When you're gone from someone for a certain amount of time, you'll 
do anything to try and get back a fraction of what you had with that person. ~ Nile

* Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. ~ 10 Things I Hate About You

* Stella: I'm fine. 
  Charlie: You know what fine stands for: Freaked-out, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional. ~ The Italian Job

* Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. Someone 
who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. 
Somone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever 
friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes 
that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the 
sad times, and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, 
your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything 
is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you 
need not worry. You have a forever friend, and forever has no end.

beer, boxer shorts, and batteries for the remote control. ~ Diana Jordan

* If you're going to make every game a matter of life or death, you're going to 
have a lot of problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot. ~ Dean Smith

* God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood 
supply to run both at the same time. ~ Robin Williams

* I believe in rules. Sure I do. If there weren't any rules, how could you break them? ~ Leo Duracher

* When you think you're alone, when you think there's no one in this world who'll stand up for you, look around and 
make sure you're right. Friends can appear in the most unlikely people, and are often right in front of you. ~ Rich Thornton

* I just think that sometimes things happen between people that you don't really expect. And sometimes 
the things that are important are the ones that seem the weirdest or the most wrong. 
And those are the ones that change your life. ~ Once and Again

* Love is like the wind, you can't see it, but you can feel it. 

* When you look around and your world is crumbling, and when you think no one 
loves you, your best friend is the one to turn to. ~ Meaghan West

* Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, "Is life a multiple choice test or is it a true or false test?" Then a voice 
comes out of the dark and says: "We hate to tell you this, but life is a thousand word essay." ~ Charlie Brown

* I know there will come a day, when we're older. And we'll meet again at a reunion, or a wedding. And you'll smile 
and say something nice, like "you look great," or "I heard about the baby." And I'll smile 
and say something like, "I hope you burn in hell. Asshole." ~ Someday

* I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I'm with you.

* Twenty-four hours in a day, twenty-four beers in a case...coincidence? I think not.

* I'm not crazy...I'm just intellectually independent.

* Friends are everything. They're people you can tell anything to, do fun stuff with, laugh at the 
same jokes with, who understand what you're going through 'cause they're going through it too. 
Friends get it. ~ Randi Reisfeld & Marie Morreale

* Giving up doesn't mean I'm weak. It means I'm strong enough to let go.

* Boys are like drugs. You spend money on them, they make you feel good for a 
little while, but in the long run they'll mess you up.

* A smart person knows all the rules so he can break them wisely. ~ Lubna Azmi

* All we could do was close our eyes and wish that the slow song would never end. ~ The Wonder Years

* Welcome to Hollywood. Everybody comes here, this is Hollywood. The land of dreams. Some dreams 
come true, some don't. But keep on dreaming, this is Hollywood. Always time to dream, so keep on dreaming.

* Some people are alive only because it is illegal to kill them.

* You can only be burned so many times before it starts to scar you. Then you begin to question yourself and 
everything you believed in. You don't want to let anyone in again because chances are you'll just get burned once 
more. These were the people you relied on and trusted most...until they hurt you. And as much as it kills you to, 
you completely give up on those things and people because you don't know what else to do. ~ Kim

* There's the people you've known forever. Who like...know you...in this way. That other

he could so it couldn't hurt me anymore. But now I'm crying and he's not here.

* There is no way to tell people they are walking around shining like the sun. ~ Thomas Merton

* Your memory is a way of holding on to what you are, 
what you love, and what you never want to lose.

* I miss you when something really good happens, because you're the one I want to share it with. I miss you when 
something is troubling me, because you're the one who 
understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry, because 
I know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow, and my tears disappear. I miss you all the 
time, but 
I miss you the most when I lay awake at night, and think of all the wonderful times that we spent with each other, 
for those were some of the best and most memorable times of my life.  

* Goodbye. I hate that word. ~ R.M. Grenon

* I have learned the dashing white knight who was supposed to sweep me off my feet has apparently gotten lost in the forest.

* Why can't we just get together all the people in the world that we really like? And then stay together? I guess that 
wouldn't work though. Somone would leave. Someone always leaves. And then we'd have to say goodbye. I hate 
goodbyes. I know what I need. I need more hellos. ~ Snoopy 

* It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of 
waking that never takes a chance. And it's the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

* Life's a bowl of punch. Go ahead and spike it. ~ 311

* I'm not talking to myself, I'm just the only one that's listening.

* I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's looking at 
life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. ~ Dr. Seuss

* To be honest with you, I don't have the words to make you feel better but I do have the arms to hug you, I have 
ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about and I have a heart that is aching to see you smile again.

* Me, I’m afraid of everything. I’m scared of what I saw, of what I did, of who I am...but most of all, I’m scared of 
walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my life the way I feel when I’m with you. ~ Dirty Dancing

* I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. 
I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might-have-been 
has never been, but a has was once an are. ~ Milton Berie

* For some moments in life, there are no words. ~ Willy Wonka

* I woke up crying again, and I don't know what to do. Maybe you'll understand. I'm so sick of feeling this way. I'm so 
sick of being alone. I would cry and count the stars if it meant that I wouldn't be so lonely. I'm trying to make sense 
of meaningless bullshit and I know I'm failing miserably. Somebody please help me get through this. I've helped 
everybody, and I don't know how to help myself.

* If it's not fun, why do it? ~ Ben and Jerry 

* You know you're in love when you think about someone more times in a day than you think about yourself.

* How do I say goodbye to what we had, the good times that made us laugh outweigh the bad. 
I thought we'd get to see forever, but forever's gone away - it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

* ...And you help each other realize that all the things you want to be...you already are. ~ Dawson's Creek

* True friends are the ones that you never miss until they are gone, and then you want 
nothing more than to have them back. Hold on to these people, they're priceless.

* Best friends just won't leave your side. ~ Blink182

* The good part about saying goodbye is that it's one step closer to saying hello again.

thought: What the hell good would that do? ~ Ronnie Shakes

* Nothing in high school is important enough to affect anyone's life beyond college admissions besides your true friends.

* When you're lying in bed at night wondering if you'll ever find someone who will really love you,
look back to me and you'll know you did, and that's the day you'll regret walking away.

* I would rather have a moment of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special. ~ Steel Magnolias

* Today I learned of love and the pain that it may bear. You can never know a person's truth behind the masks they 
wear. I find it's getting difficult to distinguish bad from good. And although it sounds cliche, I'm a child misunderstood. 
I need to move on past the hurts, move to heaven from this hell. I need to stand up to others, and to myself as well. 
If everybody has to go through torment and through pain, if they understand the hurt that is another's gain, 
if they know how it feels to have a lover or friend stab their backs with knives, why are they so cruel to say 
these are the best years of our lives? ~ Marissa Roche

* No one can drive us crazy unless we give them the keys.

* Sometimes I get the feeling the whole world is against me, but deep down 
I know that's not true. Some of the smaller countries are neutral. ~ Robert Orben

* When it comes to life,
Live like there is no tomorrow,
Love like you won't get hurt,
Work like you don't need the money,
And dance like no one is watching.

* I could fill a thousand pages, telling you how I felt and still you would not understand, 
so now I leave without a sound, except my heart shattering as it hits the ground.

* If life is a waste of time and time is a waste of life, lets all get wasted and have the time of our lives. 

* The trick is to keep breathing. ~ Garbage

* We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere. ~ Tim McGraw

* Ultimately, magic finds you, if you let it. ~ Tony Wheeler

* Not all those who wander are lost. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien

* The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.

* Some people make the world special just by being in it.

* We love because it is the only true adventure. ~ Nikki Giovanni

* That thing. That moment. You kiss someone, and it's like the world around you gets all hazy and the only thing in 
focus is you and this other person you're supposed to be kissing for the rest of your life. ~ Never Been Kissed

* Cherish things while you still have them, before they're gone and you realize just how precious they really are.

* Yesterday was a memory, tomorrow is a dream, and today is a bitch!

* The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.

not you are perfect for each other. ~ Good Will Hunting

* Don't give up on anybody because miracles happen everyday.

* All I really want is to feel cared for and safe. ~ The Age of Innocence

* Life isn't about the weather outside or the stuff others are doing. It's about who you are and what kind of 
music you play. It's about accepting and remembering, and other times forgetting...

* A best friend is someone who loves you when you forget to love yourself.

* I wanted a perfect ending...Now I've learned the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme and some stories don't 
have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment 
and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. ~ Gilda Radner

* Love is hardest to find and easiest to lose. We recognize a true love when we realize 
that the only one who can console us is the one who caused the pain.

* In love there's no simple fix. Sometimes you have to just hang on...and lead with your heart. ~ The Wonder Years

* The biggest regrets in life are the chances you never take.

* When I see you smile and know that it is not for me, that is when I will miss you the most.

* My friend, if I could give you one thing in life, it would be the ability to see yourself as 
others see you, then you would realize what a truly special person you are. ~ B.A. Billingsly

* Anyone can stand by you when you're right, but a real friend will stand by you even when you're wrong.

* It's amazing. You look like a normal person, but actually you are the angel of death. ~ When Harry Met Sally

* Friends are the ones you gave a thousand chances to but who never neeed one.

* Sometimes I wonder if you hate me or if you're the only one who ever really got me. ~ Something's Gotta Give

* Just when you think that a person is just a backdrop for the rest of the universe, watch them and see that
they laugh, they cry, they tell jokes...they're just friends waiting to be made. ~ Jeffrey Borenstein

* He who laughs last probably didn't get the joke.

* Every time I follow my heart, it leads me to him. I mean, what other explanation is there? Why is it he's all I can 
think about? Why is it that no matter how upset I am, I see him and can't help but smile? Why is it that when he 
smiles at me, I get that feeling in my stomach? And even when he'd broken my heart and hurt me as much as anyone could 
ever hurt me...When he lied to me, and I hated him...Why then did I still feel those same feelings? 
Answer me that and then I'll be able to tell you why I let him hurt me so much... 

* A friend is somebody you want to be around when you feel like being by yourself. ~ Barbara Burrow

* Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss 
the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you. ~ Cheers

* I can't cry hard enough for you to hear me.

* Everyone has the ability of making someone happy, some by entering the room, others by leaving it. 

* When you find that friend you have been looking for...the one you can laugh, talk, cry with...
you have this feeling...and you'll never let that feeling go. ~ Crackle4  

* I've learned that: goodbyes will always hurt, pictures will never replace being there, thanks is a feeble 
word, memories forget the hard times, words can never replace feelings, and heroes often go unsung. 

* Friends laugh at your silliest jokes, put up with your worst moves, go along 
with your craziest ideas, and always see the best in you.

* In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some you wonder what happened to them. 
There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you 
wish you never had to think about again; but you do. ~ The Wonder Years

* One day you'll love me as I loved you. One day you'll think of me as I thought of you. 
One day you'll cry for me as I cried for you. One day you'll want me and I won't want you.

* What good would wings be if you couldn't feel the wind on your face? ~ City of Angels

* I try to make sense of things. Which is why, I guess, I believe in destiny. 
There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be. ~ Bicentennial Man

* Sometimes your mind doesn't want you to be in love when deep down, you know you are.

* A million words can't bring you back, I know because I've tried. Neither could a million tears, I know because I've cried. 
You left me with a million thoughts and memories too but I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

* If the Quad Cities were a boy band...I think Davenport would be the talented lead guy, Bettendorf would be the 
really good-looking one that's kinda quiet so he comes across as shy, Moline would be the sporty athletic guy, Rock Island 
would be the standard badass, and East Moline would be that one whose name you can never remember. ~ Molly Harris

* One doesn't ask why the rose that grew from the pavement has damaged petals. Instead we must all celebrate it's 
tenacity, seeing it reach for the sun. We are the roses, this is the pavement, and these are my damaged petals. ~ Tupac Shakur

* We all need someone to kiss away our tears. ~ Snoopy

* I fell in love with you not because you told me I was beautiful, but because you are beautiful.  Not only on the 
outside, but the inside, too.  And you made me realize what was inside of me.

* Last night I looked up at the stars 
And matched each one with a reason why I love you 
I was doing great, but then I ran out of stars.

* Milk does a body good...but I do a body BETTER. =)

* The more I get to know guys, the more I like dogs.

* Someday you'll cry for me like I cried for you. Someday you'll miss me like I missed you.  
Someday you'll need me like I needed you. Someday you'll love me, but I wont love you.

* True friendship is when two friends can walk in opposite directions, yet remain side by side.

* Friends are like television. Some are like PBS and always asking for money. Others are like the news, with sad 
tales to tell everyday, some are like that one station with the foreign language; you don't understand a word of it but 
you listen and watch anyway. And then there are the ones like the commercials, always changing, ever-so-annoying 
and only seem to be there when you are bored. But every once and a while you meet someone who's like a really good 
movie of the week or that one TV show you hardly ever get to see anymore because you're so busy. My point is hold on to 
the friends you care about and since we don't have a remote control to mute someone or 
just change the channel, pick your friends carefully.

* Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? 
I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren't that, 
they're the people that touch your heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best 
time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, 
laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They 
look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied 
together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but 
greatest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, 
my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life. ~ Kate Tierney

* Love can tear and rip you apart. It can kill you. But if you’re lucky, it can put you back together. ~ The Wonder Years

* I wish I could hold you up and hug you tight and make all the pain go away... I’ve watched you ache and heard your 
tears, but all the grief still stayed. So I wonder why God hasn’t taken it from you, even though he heard all your cries. 
Then I realized that he wanted you to grow slowly but preciously in his sight. 

* Since the first time you ran your fingers through my hair, since the first time our hands became one, since the first 
time your kisses took away my pain... I knew I’d never be the same. 

* I always knew I’d look back at the tears and laugh, but I never thought that I’d look back at the laughs and cry. 

* When there seems like there is no one left to run to in this empty world of ours, you can come to me and I will be 
your shooting star. You can tell me your dreams. I can’t promise that I can make them come true, but I will be 
there to pick up the pieces of your broken heart, if your dreams happen to fall through.

* If I only had one friend left, I’d want it to be you. Someone who understands me and knows me inside out, 
helps me keep it together, believes without a doubt. If I had only one friend left, I’d want it to be you. 

* I’m just a baby in this business of love; too sad to laugh, too proud to cry, too strong to fall, and too good to die. 

* Dreams come a size too big so that we can grow into them. ~ Josie Bisset 

* Dreams are the answers to the questions that we haven’t figured out how to ask. ~ The X-Files 

* One of the most adventurous things left us is to go to bed, for no one can lay a hand on our dreams. ~ E.V. Lucas 

* No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through the tears. 

* Today, if a smile comes to you, a happy smile that perhaps you can’t explain, it’s because in that moment I am 
thinking of you and smiling too. 

* A kiss can be a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation point. That's the basic spelling that every 
woman ought to know. ~ Mistinguett 

* Falling in love is exactly that... falling. You don’t have much control over it. ~ Party of Five 

* Love is the best thing ever in life. It is what a person lives for. You know you are in love when you think 
about the person every time of the day; when you can’t sleep, thinking about the person; about their way of being; 
and thinking what to say when you next see them. It is a worldwide disease. 

* Why is love like the Ferris Wheel? ... because love goes up and down and round and round; the view is just stunning 
and sometimes you get a little scared and sometimes you get a little queasy; but it really is worth the price of a ticket. 
~ Jeanne Beach Eigner 

* You were always there when I needed you, never left my side. Always there to lean on and dry the tears I cried. 
I could always talk to you, you never seemed to mind. Your voice so honest and gentle, your words so honest and kind. 
I thought I'd never meet someone as special as you are. You're my best friend in the whole wide 
world. 
You're my shooting star. 

* Fear not, for I will always hold your hand through the hard times. Do not be ashamed to cry, for I will always 
be there to wipe your tears. Never hesitate to come to me with your problems, for my heart will always be there to 
listen and help. Remember that I will always be there for you, always. 

* Goodbyes always make my throat hurt . . . I need more hellos. ~ Charlie Brown

* I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either. ~ Scott Adams

* We all lie in the gutter, but some of us look up at the stars. ~ Oscar Wilde

* People who go to college are incredible. We go to classes. We read and absorb and are comprehensively tested on 
heavy amounts of various materials. We sleep very little. We drink ourselves into oblivion. We kill ourselves 
with several types of smoke. We cough and keep sneezing. Someone is always sick. Someone is always complaining.
We become attached to close friends. We smother each other. We lean too much, but our friends don't mind.  We think 
often of the past and want to go back. We know we cannot, and soon we won't want to. We all had
separate lives, families, backgrounds and pasts. We live totally different from how we used to live. We are 
frustrated and sometimes want to give up, but we never stop trying, and our friends won't let us. We disregard 
health. We eat awful foods. We are forced to think about the future. We are scared and confused. We reach out for 
things, yet we don't find them. We try to sort out our minds, which are filled with studies, worries, problems, 
memories, emotions - powerful feelings. We wander the campus looking for happiness, which can be found in a friend's 
smile. We hurt - a lot, but a friend always tries to take the hurt away. We keep going, though, because above all 
else, we never stop learning, growing, changing, and most important dreaming. Dreams keep us going and they always will. 
All we can do is be thankful that we have something to hold onto, like dreams and each other.

* Advice is what we ask for when we know the answer, but wish we didn't.

* Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes. ~ Erica Jong

* Wait for the kind of guy who pursues you. The kind of guy who brings out the best in you and makes you want 
to be a better person. Wait for the guy who will be your best friend. The guy who makes you smile like no other 
guy and when he smiles you know he needs you. Wait for the guy who wants to show you off to the world when you 
are in sweats and no makeup on, but appreciates it when you get all dolled up for him. And most of all wait 
for the guy who will put you at the center of his universe, because obviously he's at the center of yours. 

* It's the little things you do that make my heart forget to beat.

* Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

* Sometimes you smile because you're happy, sometimes you smile just because you survived, and sometimes you can't 
smile at all because you don't think you'll survive the hurt. ~ Happy Campers

* Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is 
our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, 
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. 
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are meant 
to shine, as children do. We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; 
it's in everyone. And as we shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated 
from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~ Nelson Mandela

* Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive! ~ Elbert Hubbard

* You can't stay mad at somebody who makes you laugh. ~ Jay Leno

* Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

* I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay. ~ Dave Matthews Band

* Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they 
are crazy. ~ Nora Ephron

* If you go and drink a lot and wake-up with a killer hangover, you swear you're never going to drink again--'cause 
the pain in your head seems to never go away. The same seems to apply with love, or losing someone you love. When 
you get your heart broken, the pain in your gut and heart seems to be never-ending, so you swear you're never 
going to love again. ~ Kenny Chesney

* There's something abut how you stay on my mind, there's something about the way that I whisper your name 
when I'm asleep.  Maybe its the look you get in your eyes.  It's the way that makes me feel to see you smile. 
And the reasons they may change, but what I'm feeling stays the same.

* The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably 
Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw, my inability to 
change. I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's 
flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... It feels safer somehow. 
And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the 
box, did something unexpected... Who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could 
be even worse. So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as 
far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... Except maybe yourself a little. When we finally 
do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different 
person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at 
us really close. Which, thank God, they never do. But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of 
difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever...that you'll 
never have to change again. ~ Everwood

* I want to be there for you, I do, but I can't do this anymore. 
I can't keep being your second choice, not when you're my first. ~ Everwood

* Look, I'm gonna mess up because that's just what I do. But at least give me a chance to mess up. I mean, I'm capable 
of such stupidity that you'd be wasting my talent by ending this now. ~ Everwood

* I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye. ~ unknown

* Just when you think things can't get any worse....they do. But I've learned that life is like hour glass 
sand. Sooner or later, everything hits rock bottom, 
but all you have to do is be patient 
and wait 
for something to turn everything around. ~ caitlin's profile

* Look. I don't talk. A lot. About stuff. I don't trust people. I trust you. And I wanna make it. 
Us. Work. No matter what. ~ The O.C.

* If it weren't for marriage, men would spend their lives thinking they had no faults at all. ~ unknown

* I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've 
experienced pain and bought jewelry. ~ Rita Rudner

* The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do. ~ B. F. Skinner

* No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space. ~ Star Trek

* Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's the middle that counts the most. ~ Hope Floats

* Life...is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. 
Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint 
crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a 
peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing 
but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all 
you've got left is a...is an empty box...filled with useless, brown paper wrappers. ~ x-files

* You are my one in five billion. ~ x-files

* People don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream - what 
they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive. ~ Buffy

* When God created women, he should have included instructions. ~ Steve Urkle

* A man's got to believe in something, I believe I'll have another drink. ~ W.C. Fields

* You see? That's just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make 
it impossible for me to hate you! ~ When Harry Met Sally

* If we discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all we wanted to say, every telephone 
booth would be occupied by people calling other people to stammer that they loved them. ~ Christopher Morley

* Girls mature faster than boys, cost more to raise, and statistics show that the old saw about girls not knowing about 
money and figures is a myth. Girls start to outspend boys before puberty and they manage to maintain this lead until 
death or an ugly credit manager, whichever comes first...Girls can slam a door louder, beg longer, turn tears on 
and off like a faucet, and invented the term, "You don't trust me." ~ Erma Bombeck  

* People who love you, people who you love back, people that will always be there for you through 
the good times and the bad. They make you happy when you are sad, they are 
angels that have yet to earn their wings, they are your dearest friends. 

* The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair. 
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.

* It's a rough road that leads to greatness. ~ Seneca

* Life is not one damn thing after another: it's the same damn thing over and over. ~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

* Don't refuse to go on an occasional wild goose chase. That's what wild geese are for. 

* Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved. ~ D.H. Lawrence

* If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good. ~ Dr. Seuss

* Things do not change: we change. ~ Henry David Thoreau

* Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. ~ Albert Einstein

* Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together. ~ Carl Zwanzig

* All progress involves risk, you can't steal home with your foot on third.
 
* Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back  form an event, deal with it, and then move on. ~ Bob Newhart

* We grow because we struggle, we learn and overcome. ~ R.C. Allen

* Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends. ~ Czech Proverb

* If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer. ~ Ace Ventura, Pet Detective

* But above all...a person needs someone to believe in him, to encourage him. ~ Peter Bertocci

* The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. 
And very shortly you discover that there is no reason. ~ John Cage

* One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. ~ Andre Gide

* Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength. ~ Hasidic saying

* Life is a long, long walk best taken in the company of trusted friends and those who have been down the road before us.

* Destiny is not a matter of CHANCE; it is a matter of CHOICE. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. ~ William Jennings Bryan 

* Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold. ~ Zelda Fitzgerald

* So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. ~ Will Rogers

* Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; 
forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be 
encumbered with your old nonsense. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

* Do what you can with what you have where you are. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

* Nothing is worth more than this day. ~ JOhann Wolfgang von Goethe

* Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world. ~ George Bernard Shaw

* Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

* Trust requires being who you say you are - over time. ~ Drew Edwards

* The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart. ~ Mencius

* Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. ~ Karl A. Menninger

* Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still. ~ Chinese Proverb

* In everyone's life, at some time our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. 
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~ Albert Schweitzer

Whatever they are criticizing is sure to be the best part of what makes you an individual. 

* Success is the journey, not the destination. 

* Real education is the education that fits you for real life. It teaches you what you need to know in order to be 
the person you need to be. Formal education is society's way of trying to force you into their mold by teaching you 
to think like everyone else. ~ Amos Jones

* Sometimes in observing one small gesture you can know someone completely. 

* Horizons change and so do we. 

* Sometimes it's good just to be in the moment. 

* Good friends see the world the same way.

* The best things in life are often right in front of us. 

* Somewhere there is a puddle waiting for you.

* When there's nowhere else you'd rather be you've found the one.
