Ok, so I LOVE quotes. I have a huge list of my favorites that just keeps getting longer and longer. I tried to weed out as many as I could. Here is a not so mini list.
"Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm."
"You make your own dream. That's the Beatles' story, isn't it? That's Yoko's story. That's what I'm saying now. Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself."-John Lennon
“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.”
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
"We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality."
"We accept the love we think we deserve."
"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future."
" Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death."
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you." -Dr. Seuss
"Imagination is the best way to say fuck you to reality."
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence."
"Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in up, but rather our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there."
"Hope will never be silent." -Harvey Milk
"When I look back on my life, it’s not that I don’t want to see things exactly as they happened. It’s just that I prefer to remember them in an artistic way. And truthfully, the lie of it all is much more honest because I invented it. Clinical psychology tells us arguably that trauma is the ultimate killer. Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics - they can all be lost forever. It's sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again. It’s not that I’ve been dishonest; it’s just that I loathe reality. " -Lady Gaga
"I must not fear. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
"In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis."
"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
