"And they say we'll never see half as much as they did. It's true that we never saw Vietnam or World War II. We didn't see our mothers cry when John F. Kennedy died. We never sat infront of our TVs in horror as we heard the news of the Columbia crash. But we've lived our lives being told that we're just not good enough. We've seen anorexia and bulimia because skinny just isn't skinny enough. We saw Columbine; Virginia Tech and the Twin Towers fall. We've seen a lot of greed and even more hate. Our generation fights a different kind of war. But we've seen as much as them, and maybe more."
"This I believe: That the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuble thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual." -John Steinbeck
"Everyone of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads, at least that's where I imagine it, there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in a library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust off things every once in a while, let fresh air in, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own little private library."
"In my life, I've come to realise that you can't depend upon other people for what you want and you can't be scared to go out there and get it. You have to dream hard, wish big, and chase after your goals. Because no one else is going to do it for you. And even if things don't work out, you'll always be able to say you tried."
"Dear stranger, You are lovely. Have a nice day. Love, Another stranger."
"Most people's imaginations don't have limits. As we grow older, we stop daydreaming and our minds stop wandering. When your mind wanders, it comes home with interesting things found along the way. remember the value of imagining; the knowledge that when you look around, everything you see was once imagined at some time by somebody."
"If you limit your choices to only what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truely want, and all that is left is a compromise."
"We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better." -J. K. rowling.
"The worst mistake you can make in life is the constant fear you'll make one."
"Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dreams will not. responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away."
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing; it was here first."
"I'm in one of those moods that nothing is really wrong in my life, but my brain keeps on insisting that there is. Or maybe it's my heart that's doing the insisting. I can't really tell. You know that feeling?"
"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."
Finis.
