One of the things I find so amusing about people is that whenever it is your problem,
suddenly everyone is an expert. Suddenly everyone knows what you should do. Well,
excuse me for being less than optimistic, but if it were as easy as everyone says it is,
wouldn’t you have solved it yourself?

what she did but what she didn’t do, and not where she went but where she was afraid to
go.

This would be really funny if it wasn’t happening to me.
There is a voice that has no name. It comes with evening or behind the rain. I have no
time now to stop and explain. I just keep movin, cause it helps to ease the pain. The night
has music that calls to me across the canyons of an endless sea. I seek the shadows of
yesterday. Today can’t hold me so I must be on my way. Speak to me softly, but tell me
no lies. I see tomorrow shining in your eyes. I have no time now to sotp and explain, I
just keep movin cause it helps to ease the pain.
In the middle of everything bad that happens there lies opportunity. Will your eyes be too
tear-filled to see it?

I know how it feels to hear something funny and not laugh, and to have all the love in the
world, yet feel so alone. I know how it feels to have nowhere to go for comfort and the
people who should comfort you the most are the ones who you can’t see and be happy
around at the same time. How feels toa ct so much that you can barely tell where you
begin and the fake you ends. To look in the mirror and not be able to fathom how anyone
could ever love you when you can’t even love yourself. I know how it feels. I know what
it’s like to have nowhere to go to escape yourself, but I can promise you one thing:
running won’t make anything better. You only think it will, but it won’t. I’ve tried.
Sometimes it’s right to do the wrong thing.

For everything we’ll do someday, thank you in advance.
The one thing you’ll regret is the chances you never took.
Great dancers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their
passion.
Man never stands as tall as when he is on his knees in prayer.
It’s better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than just stare at the line the rest
of your life. So what are you waiting for? Cross the line.

"One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space. Millions of stars blazed in darkness, and on the far shore a few lights burned in cottages. Otherwise there was no reminder of human life. My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon. It occurred to me that if this were a sight that could be seen only once in a century, this little headland would be thronged with spectators. But it can be see many scores of nights in any year, and so the lights burned in the cottages and the inhabitants probably gave not a thought to the beauty overhead; and because they could see it almost any night, perhaps they never will." -Rachel Carson
And I'm blasting my music, so I wont hear my thoughts
You made all the girls stare
Those lips and your brown eyes
And your sexy hair.

I make the world want you
Tell your boys you’ll be back
I wanna see what you can do.
And a heaven in a wild flower." -William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
