Ripped straight from my Facebook:
"Mastery of others is strength, mastering yourself makes you fearless."
-Lao Tzu
"Confidence- it is the food of the wise man, but the liquor of the fool."
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. "
-Henry David Thoreau
“If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning.”
-Catherine Aird
"Experience is simply the name we give to our mistakes."
-Oscar Wilde
"There is not a thin line between love and hate. There is, in fact, a Great Wall of China, with armed sentries every 20 feet between love and hate."
- Hugh Laurie (as House) _________________ Support me on Patreon!

"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."
-Charles Darwin
"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." _________________ "...at first it's fine and you think you have a dark side – it's exciting – and then you realise the dark side wins every time if you decide to indulge in it. It's also a completely different way of living when you know that...a different species of person." - Lana Del Rey

All the ones from my facebook:
Quote: | "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” ~Albert Einstein
“You cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.” ~ Albert Einstein
"I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong."
- Leo Rosten
"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)
Everybody Loves Raymond:
Marie Barone: "I may not be a certified therapist, but i've been told by many people that I could be."
Ray Barone: "That's not what they mean when they say you're certifiable."
"Righteousness without compassion is an illusion."
- Buddist Quote
"When somebody shows you who they are, believe them the first time."
- Maya Angelou
Legally Blond:
"Elle: Did you see him? He's probably still scratching his head. "
Paulette: "Yeah, which must be a nice vacation for his balls."
"Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of their choices.” |

"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. _________________

"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burnt so very, very brightly...."
(No idea where that quote comes from, sorry)
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and mankind's stupidity; and I'm not entirely convinced about the universe...."
- Paraphrased from a quote by Einstein. _________________
