"How we feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don't let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry.

On the road that I have taken, one day, walking, I awaken. One day, walking, I awaken, on the road that I have taken." ~ The Book of Counted Sorrows

"Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief." ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I hate this paper under my hand because it isn't you. I even hate this letter because it's not the whole truth. Because the whole truth is so much more than a letter can even say. If you want to hate me, go ahead. If you want to burn this letter, do it. You could burn the whole world down, you could tell me to go to hell. I'd go, if you wanted me to. And I'd send you a letter from there." ~ My So Called Life

"By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth, I sought him but I found him not." ~ Song of Solomon 3:1
"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear." ~ The Body by Steven King

I hate you so much it makes me sick it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh even worse when you make me cry.

I think, on the contrary, that the answers are so simple, so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it. We're looking through a telescope, searching the stars for the answer, when the answer is actually a speck of dirt on the telescope lens." ~ Jason Q
"It's the heart afraid of breaking, that never takes a chance. It's the dream afraid of waking, that never learns to dance. It's the one who won't be broken, that cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live."
"I dream a world where man no other man will scorn, where love will bless the earth and peace its paths adorn. I dream a world where all will know sweet freedom's way, where greed no longer saps the soul nor avarice blights our day. A world I dream where black or white, whatever race you be, will share the bounties of the earth and every man is free, where wretchedness will hang its head and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all mankind-of such I dream, my world." ~ Langston Hughes, I Dream a World

"Perhaps we are looking at this from a wrong perspective, this search for the truth, the meaning of life, the reason of God.

I think, on the contrary, that the answers are so simple, so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it. We're looking through a telescope, searching the stars for the answer, when the answer is actually a speck of dirt on the telescope lens." ~ Jason Q

First Blog Ever--start of quotes
Well I just decided to start blogging on here because facebook and myspace will only save my last 10 blogs. So I've lost all the quotes I started putting up years ago. I'll start this blog by posting some of my favorite quotes that I've been collecting since I was about 16. I'll also add any pictures or any other little spiels I decide to go on in the future. My quote book is full of sayings that I believe, that I would say myself, or that are just funny. These first few blogs are going to be from back in the day, so they'll become more relevant to today as I continue to publish them. Thanks for reading!
