"You'll learn that even that one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break other hearts You'll fight with your best friend, you'll cry because time is passing so fast and you'll eventually lose somebody you love. So today-take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive too freely, and love like you've never been hurt because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back." ~kat
"Dont let people from the past bother you. There's a reason they didn't make it to your future." ~kel

“You don't pay back your parents. You can't.
The debt you owe them gets collected by your children,
who hand it down in turn. It's a sort of entailment.
Or if you don't have children of the body,
it's left as a debt to your common humanity. . .” ~Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campain, 1999
“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.
Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” ~Jane Howard, "Families"
"Fall seven times, stand up eight. " ~Japanese Proverb
"Girls are always running through my mind. They don't dare walk." ~Andy Gibb
"The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason." ~John Cage (1912 - 1992)
"I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?" ~Jean Kerr
"Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question." ~Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
"We think having faith means being convinced [God] exists in the same way we are convinced a chair exists. People who cannot be completely convinced of [God’s] existence think faith is impossible for them. Not so. People who doubt can have great faith because faith is something you do, not something you think. In fact, the greater your doubt the more heroic your faith." ~Real Live Preacher, RealLivePreacher.com Weblog, December 26, 2002
"To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within. With our own eyes we see, and with our own skin we feel. With our intelligence, it is intended that we understand. But each person must puzzle it out for himself or herself." ~Sophy Burnham
