Just joking.

But, no, there's a bunch of 'quote' strings on this site.

If you had to pick one, positive or negative, what quote do you live by?

I'm going to be a dork, -

"But you write such pretty words,
but life's no story book.
Love is an excuse to get hurt,
and to hurt.
Do you like to hurt?
I do, I do,
so hurt me."



"Adversity" for Plastic Pancakes…

Who are we
but a grain of sand
a ripple on the sea of life
Blowing in the wind
resisting nothing.

Who are we
to ask why me and
fall captive to the pain
when all we thought
was was not.

Adversity is the
teacher of life and
love, of time and space,
of what is real and where it
belongs and to whom it belongs.

Adversity is what expands the mind
and deepens the intensity of meaning.
The past is gone, do not cry for what is no more
Use it to rejoice in what is to be, improve tomorrow.

"Carefully watch your THOUGHTS, for they become your WORDS. Manage and watch your WORDS, for they will become your ACTIONS. Consider and judge your ACTIONS, for they have become your HABITS. Acknowledge and watch your HABITS, for they shall become your VALUES. Understand and embrace your VALUES, for they become YOUR DESTINY." —Mahatma Gandhi

"My darling girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue...it rather denotes a lack of courage." ~one of the Aunts from Practical Magic

Yes, I believe I can emote
I believe it because I choose to
I want to so I can prove you wrong
I want to because you honed your knife
Before you stuck it, clean, to the other side
It was the kind of cut that is so deep it's painless
Too deep to bleed untill you pull it out, so hurt me.

if your guidance is your ego,
don't rely on luck for help.
you sleep during the day
and the nights are short.
by the time you wake up
your life may be over.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity." —Carl Jung

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.

Saturday nights are hard.
My eyes feel funny, they hurt.
It feels like tears are trying to get out.
I know if I listen to a certain song, one of ours,
Or see a couple looking at each other in a certain way
The tears will come and come and come, so I am very careful
About what music I listen to, what I watch on TV, and what I read
I will be like this every Saturday night until we are together my love
because you are my love and I need you to hold my hand on date night.....:heart:
