"And so our adventure ends. And some of us found our heroes, and others unconquered their fears. And one might even say…we've triumphed. I'm not sure if it happened that day or that summer but somehow, we all felt older and different. I knew I'd never forget any of it and I decided I wasn't gonna let it end because I realized we're not just given life experience, we're given the experience of life" -- Young Americans
"I laugh, because I must not cry." -- Abraham Lincoln
"Never let your heart die, always remain a kid"
"So we must love, while these moments are still called today, take part in the pain of this passion play, stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust, until time makes history of us." -Emily Saliers
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 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
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." -Leo Buscaglia
"I'm not sure how I did It, my memories begins with the crack of the bat, and the sight of the ball rising. Maybe that's not exactly what It happens. But that's the way It should have happen, and That's the way I like to remembering. And If dreams and memories sometimes get confused to well... That is It should be, because every kid deserves to be a hero... Every kid already is..."
Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. -- Pablo Picasso
"Everyone is different. When you don't mind your difference it stops being a problem and becomes your distinction."-Joan Alden
“heres to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels. the troublemakers. the round heads in the square holes. the ones who see things differently. they're not fond of rules. you can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or villify them. but the only thing you can't do is ignore them. because they change things. they push the human race forward. and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do”
"Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves... for growing up."
