I wish my high school was cool enough to have meaningful quotes scrawled on the desks. XD; I like that one... though it can be both depressing and motivating ._.

"dare" almost seems to make the act of living seem... evil XD;

It's a nice quote! :) But then again, Eleanor Roosevelt always has really nice ones.

I get what you mean. And that I think is the motivating understanding of it. The "depressing" one I meant was ><; like from that quote, you're establishing that life is hard to get through... there are so many obstacles, fears, challenges that you have to face and it's almost like daunting you saying "do you DARE to face all this?" Like asking "do you dare to face Godzilla empty-handedly and in a wheelchair?" x_X It makes you face the reality of just how challenging it (life) is.

Yea my brother is technically majoring in philosophy. And he's always going on about his ideas and what he thinks and it's amazing but at the same time, my head hurts. XD; It's like "ahhh, ._. I really can't THINK and contemplate that much, and be so 'deep.'"

I'd say the same except I take quotes from EVERYWHERE (and usually found through subjects rather than the quotee) xD So it's hard to say who's I like best!

True, but the quote kinda taunts at it.
:) True.
