Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
--Ayn Rand
It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
DARING GREATLY
so that his place shall never be
with those timid souls
who know neither victory or defeat.
--Theodore Roosevelt
"If we go to school to learn, and knowledge is power, and power is corrupt, and corruption is crime, and crime doesn't pay, then why the hell do we go to school?!"
"I do not have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem."
"You never get over someone you really love."
"Men are like slinkys-completely useless, but you just can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs."
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
"I won't pretend I intend to stop living, I won't pretend I am good at forgiving, but I can't hate you although I have tried... I still really love you, 'cause loves stronger than pride."
