There would be no passion in this world if we never had to fight for what we love.

~ Susie Switzer  

Friends are like a good bra, supportive, hard to find, and always close to your heart!  ;D

Live your live to never be ashamed of what is written or or about you, even if what is written and said about you is not true.

"My head keeps trying to sell me ambition. But in my heart, I want self-respect." ...Iggy Pop

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 to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit 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 to have succeeded.



- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The world is full of people that have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only to their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are that they should be living for." - Joseph Campbell

"God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."  -Voltaire

"When the authorities warn you of the dangers of having sex, there is an important lesson to be learned: do not have sex with the authorities." -Matt Groening

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

''The road to success is not straight. There is a curb called Failure, a loop called Confusion; speed bumps called Friends; red lights

called Enemies;caution lights called Family. You will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination; an engine

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.  In their grey visions they obtain glimpses of eternity, and thrill, in awakening, to find they have been upon the verge of the great secret.

E.A. Poe

"I though of that old joke, y'know, the, this, this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" And the guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much how I feel about relationships. Y'know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and, but, uh, I guess we keep going through it because, uh, most of us need the eggs."

Kimberly,

That is so very true!!!

I can't think of any quote more fitting than this for my family here

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.  Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

Don't know if this is a quote, or maybe famous last words

It somes from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, which is a metaphor for how comunist states started and where they ended up.

Chaunte

Hey Chaunte :)
I was just being silly, I know that pigs cannot really speak (I think).

As far as George Orwell, "Animal Farm"& "1984",  his writing is brilliant but I put his books down feeling really depressed.  Too dark and yet too true a take on human nature.

I believe Stalin loathed George Orwell on account of his writings - I dont blame him, I think those books and I think Communist Russia (China, whatever - all evil empires)

Merope,

Sorry.  Given some of the kids I teach, Animal Farm is when you don't have an orchard and 1984 is when Ghostbusters was released.

Given what I know of the mess called life I can not help but to agree. I have known far more snakes on two legs than any other mode of transportation.

However, given this is a quote thread I feel obligated to share another quote...


"When man calls an animal "vicious", he usually means that it will attempt to defend itself when he tries to kill it."

Youve got brains in your head,
Feet in your shoes,
you can steer your self,
any way you choose,
when your on your own,
and you know what you know,
its up to you, to deside,
to deside which way to go.

Dr. Suess    <I think.....>

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Quote from: Mildred Taylor
We have no choice of what color we're born or who our parents are or whether we're rich or poor. What we do have is some choice over what we make of our lives once we're here

How very true.  This quote also applies to gender as you can see.
