"Time is the fire in which we burn."

-I can't remember where that one came from

"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life."

"Every man dies. Not every man really lives."

-William Wallace

"What is love? Some people can so carelessly throw that word around, not really feeling anything for anyone. I'm not sure it exists. It's like the adult version of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny- a lie told to keep people spending money on those lies' respective holidays.
...Love often has a way of blinding people to who they really are. You won't honestly know a person until you've been with them romantically, and even then, not until you've ended the relationship. Only then do you get to see them with the lies stripped away, and you get to see nothing but the unadulterated truth- the honest, genuine person inside or the revenge-obsessed freak buried underneath."

-Myself. I wrote that one a few years back, during a dark time. All I saw around me was people ending their relationships, seeing them doing horrible things to one another. There's more, but it's rather irrelevant.

EDIT:

Another old quote I found of mine:

...On The Nightmare On Elm Street remake:

"Rooney Mara's acting in that film was like a swampass; you wanted to clean it up afterwards, it's so disgusting and useless. She really did nothing for the film. Same goes for the rest of the cast; except Kyle Gallner. He, like Jared Padalecki in F13 remake, was the only saving grace. Even Jackie couldn't fill the void left by Robert Englund. It's one of the better remakes, but still doesn't hold a candle to the original."

"I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
And if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.
If not, it can’t be helped."
- Gestalt Prayer (Fritz Perls, 1969)

"Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of their choices.”

[inferiare]

"Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the hearts of mankind..."

That's always stuck with me. It's from one of the characters in Tales of Phantasia (Morrison, I think? I can't remember his name at the moment) but how true it is.
