Mulan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?” ― Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes Link to post Share on other sites

Baskervillain Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 "For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so, because it serenely disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrible" Rainier Maria Rilke Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Kitty Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Being heard is so close to being loved that, for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.-David Augsburger You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.-Inigo Montoya A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.-Douglas Adams It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.-Douglas Adams Link to post Share on other sites
Dodecahedron314 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 In order to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe. -Carl Sagan Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. -Bertrand Russell Link to post Share on other sites

RunLikeAFox Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Monk: I don't know how you do it. Lt. Disher: What's that? Monk: How you take it. People joke around, tease you, you never get mad or upset. Lt. Disher: Mmm, it used to bother me when I was coming up in uniform. I heard people laughing, telling Randy Disher stories. And it hurt, you know? I almost quit. Monk: What happened? Lt. Disher: One night I got a call - a P-300 downtown. There was a bumper sticker on one of the cars, and it said, "Happiness is a choice." I mean, I know it sounds crazy, but it changed my life. I mean, I made a decision right there. I chose to be happy. I mean, I really believe that. I mean, you have the power. You can choose to be happy. Monk: I guess I should read more bumper stickers. Lt. Disher: [yawning] Everybody should. Okay, it's late. I'm gonna to go sack out. Monk: Yeah, good night. Lt. Disher: See you in the morning. Monk: Wait a minute. P-300? Isn't that a fatality? Lt. Disher: Yeah, it was pretty ugly. The driver hit a tractor-trailer head on. He and his wife were both DOA [Dead on arrival]. Monk: And this was the car that had the bumper sticker, "Happiness is a choice"? Lt. Disher: Yeah, that's right. Well, actually, it was on fire when I got there, so it was hard to read. Monk: And this didn't deter you or make you think twice? Lt. Disher: [shrugs] It was an epiphany, Monk. You can't just choose where you get it. I mean it could come from a guru on a mountaintop, or it could be from a bumper sticker on a burning Subaru. Link to post Share on other sites

Mudlark Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I couldn't choose just one, so here are a few; 'It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.' 'People don't alter history any more than birds alter the sky, they just make brief patterns in it.' ~Terry Pratchett 'If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people in the world?'~Stephen Fry 'If a cluttered desk is a cluttered mind, what is an empty desk?' ~Albert Einstein (I use this frequently to justify my desk, and indeed my entire bedroom, being an utter pigsty.)

Guest Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 "At the time, you might think it's a mistake that you can never undo. Even if it is, if we kick and scream and fight like hell we can move forward a little. I was always taught that even if you don't believe in yourself, you need to believe in the fact that everyone else believes in you. That's how it should be. At least I think so" ~Simon, from Gurren Lagann "There's no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary; you can't gain anything without losing something first. Although, if you can endure that pain, and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah... a heart made Fullmetal." ~ Edward Elric, from Fullmetal Alchemist "Watching you right now made me want to kill you for real. I have no intention of saving a kid that only wants to take the easy way out. Struggle till you can struggle no more. It's your life, even if it is covered in blood; don't run away, Zero." ~Toga Yagari, from Vampire Knight Yeah, a lot of mine are from anime... Link to post Share on other sites
