Go here. Keep refreshing until you've collected five quotes that really resonate with you, then post them to your journal.
“Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We lose as much to life as we do to death.” - Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey
“Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” - Bill Watterson
“Music makes one feel so romantic - at least it always gets on one’s nerves - which is the same thing nowadays.” - Oscar Wilde
“Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind much too frequently from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.” - Albert Einstein
“Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.” - Henry David Thoreau
^says a lot about how i view society eh? eek.
i didn't mean to end up with mostly 'famous' quote-givers. can't help it if those old, wise, dead white men had so many brilliant things to say. it's funny, because none of those quotes are ones i'd've really chosen on my own. i've got those six pictures i made myself, right? the ones that were in my res room all year. none of those quotes are listed above. it's amazing how well you can relate to other people, to their thoughts. love yous!

i’m feeling:
impressed
