I've become a collector.
Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I've ever known.

The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.
- Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters, 1999
Bitches get stuff done.
- Tina Fey
I can resist anything except temptation!
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
- e e cummings
For it so falls out
That what we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lack’d and lost,
Why, then we rack the value; then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
Whiles it was ours.
Much Ado about Nothing. Act iv. Sc. 1.
It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great. - A League of Their Own
"Here's what I've learned. When you don't have love, it seems like everybody you know falls in love. Everybody. Even the retarded people in your neighborhood are getting married on their front lawns, as you drive by, alone. When you don't have love, and everybody you know is in love, you know what thats like? It's like there's a huge party going on, and everyone was invited, except for you. And you just happen to be walking by that house in the rain. But then again, once you're in love, you know what that's like? That's like being inside that party going 'Where's my jacket? I wanna get outta here. Where's my jacket?!? I've been at this party 4 years, I want to see other parties!'" -Dane Cook
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. -William Henry Channing
Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live. -Leo Tolstoy
I believe that man will not merely endure. He will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. -William Faulkner
Life is the sum of all your choices. -Albert Camus
As long as we do not ask the horse to forget who he is, he will remind us of who we want to be. -Melissa Sovey Nelson
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. - Robert Frost
Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?
A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long. - e. e. cummings
"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying." -Greys Anatomy
As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit. - Emmanuel Teney
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not.
You so much as TOUCH kitty's ass, and I'll put a firecracker in your nutsack and blow your balls all over your pants. - Eric Cartman
and if you're right, you'll agree
here's coming a better version of me
It is never too late to be what you might have been .. George Eliot
Two such as you with such a master speed, cannot be parted nor be swept away, from one another once you are agreed, that life is only life forevermore, together wing to wing and oar to oar. - Robert Frost
I try to be patient when I can, listen to my heart when I know I should, and do what I want when I don't give a damn.
Go confidently into the direction of your dreams. Live the life you always imagined .. Thoreau
My mother said to me, “If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.” Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso. -Pablo Picasso
I am likely to miss the main event
If i stop to cry and complain again
So i will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damn breeze dry my face
Ooh mister wait until you see
What i plan to be
I've got a plan to demand and it just began
And if you're right, you'll agree
Here's coming a better version of me
.. Better Version of Me - Fiona Apple ..
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I don't know why'
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again.
.. Sweet Thing - Van Morrison ..
Many people die with their music still in them. To often it is because they are always getting ready to live... before they know it, time runs out. -Oliver Wendell Holmes
"For you will be dead much longer than you will be alive. And you will have all that time to remember everything that was your life, even if no one else does. So you had better find something worth remembering and just leave it at that." - Matthew Good
Fool me once,
shame on you.
Fool me twice....
....I'll get you, bitch.
"There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be." - Pearl S. Buck
Patience with others is Love,
Patience with self is Hope,
Patience with God is Faith. - Adel Bestavros
People aren't failures when they're doing the best they can. Our performance doesn't have to be measured against anyone else's-just against our own abilities to cope.
It’s not the falling that hurts...it’s when you stop. And sometimes, when you fall, you learn to fly.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. -- Plato (427-347 BCE)
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: "It might have been!"
.. Maud Miller - John Greenleaf Whittier ..
If it makes you less sad, I will die by your hand.
I hope you find out what you want.
I already know what I am.
And if it makes you less sad, we'll start talking again.
And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am.
I'll grow old and start acting my age.
I'll be a brand new day in a life that you hate.
A crown of gold. A heart that's harder than stone.
And it hurts a whole lot, but it's missed when it's gone.
....
You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold.
Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones.
Spring keeps you ever close.
You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin.
Standing trial for your sins.
Holding onto yourself the best you can.
You are the smell before rain.
You are the blood in my veins.
Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not.
I'm glad that you can forgive.
I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget.
The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot // Brand New
Identity isn't external. It doesn't come from a thing you do, or a place you live. It doesn't reside in husbands, or children, or even careers. Identity is deeply personal and intrinsically individual. Creating it is like making something out of clay. The shape can be changed by the spinning wheel of life, but the end result, be it a thing of beauty or a shapeless lump - is entirely up to you. Giving up something doesn't have to mean giving up who you are. It only means changing the shape a little, pinching off a bit of clay in one place, and adding it someplace else, until you come up with something entirely new, but no less pleasing than the original.
