<p>I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. This is one of my favorite quotes from a movie, and I’m sure a good number of you will know where it’s from:</p>
<p>“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.”</p>
<p>^GAH, yess <3</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha that was hilarious! Not so emotional, but because it was already mentioned I second it!</p>
<p>“People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period.”
-The Pursuit of Happyness</p>
<p>From the book Paper Towns by John Green</p>
<p>"Maybe it’s more like you said before, all of us being cracked open. Like, each of us out as a watertight vessel. And these things happen- these people leave us, or don’t love us, or don’t get us or we don’t get them, and we lose and fail and hurt one another…But there is all this time between when when the cracks start to open up and when we finally fall apart.</p>
<p>And it’s only in that time that we can see one another, because we see out of ourselves through out cracks and into others through theirs…But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out."</p>
<p>I have quite a few, all saved on my Facebook quotes page, that I fell in love with the second I read them.</p>
<p>“There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.” – J. Robert Oppenheimer</p>
<p>“Put all your soul into it, play the way you feel!” – Fr</p>
<p>^ Chopin! Le Petit Prince! :]</p>
<p>“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.” - The Perks of Being a Wallflower</p>
<p>I stared at that line for a good five minutes.</p>
<p>^ Do you love Chopin as well?</p>
<p>I was lucky enough to read Le Petit Prince in the original French, and made my own translation of the novella.</p>
<p>^ Yep. And I read Le Petit Prince in French, too. My teacher was a bit obsessed with it, actually.</p>
<p>I’ve started to collect quotes/texts/pictures of the sort and am going to put them on my tumblr over time, if i can be bothered haha, so i can probs post a few here. </p>
<p>But here is one that i love and will probably post on now because i absolutely adore it</p>
<p>"Let me die the moment my love dies.
Let me not outlive my own capacity to love.
Let me die still loving, and so, never die. "</p>
<p>There is no good on earth! Sin is but a name. Come Devil, for to thee this world is given!!
-Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It’s fun to say when somebody says something stupid. 
Hm, alsoooo…
“Oh! How I shall play it! To play for his delight I am afraid I may frighten the company, frighten or enthrall them. To be in love is to surpass oneself.”
That was Sybil Vane talking about Dorian in The Picture of Dorian Gray. That book never gets old. Then, the scene where Dorian tells her that she meant nothing to him, and then where Lord Henry delivers the message to Dorian telling him of her death…gah. The best. :)</p>
<p>Also, going to throw in one of my favorite public figures of ALL TIME. Richard Feynman…
Atoms with consciousness, matter with curiosity//Standing at the sea//Wonders at wondering…I…//a universe of atoms//an atom in the universe.</p>
<p>“A library is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of ignorance, particularly if the library is very tall and the surrounding area has been flooded.” -Lemony Snicket</p>
<p>“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” -George Orwell’s 1984</p>
<p>“Beautiful thing, the destruction of words.” -same as above</p>
<p>^omg, i <3 lemony snicket. i need to go back & re-read the series of unfortunate events.</p>

Sudden Impact (film)
<p>There were moments when he looked on evil simply as a mode through which he could realize his conception of the beautiful.</p>
<p>It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything. </p>
<p>Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very ****ed off. </p>
<p>Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don’t you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can’t think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you’re supposed to read? Do you think every thing you’re supposed to think? Buy what you’re told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned.</p>

<p>Reply to thisgirlisaG:</p>
<p>Have you read Snicket’s book Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can’t Avoid? It was an amazing quick read. When I read the back, I knew that I had to read it:</p>
<p>“Life is a turbulent journey, fraught with confusion, heartbreak, and inconvenience. This book will not help.”</p>
<p>If you have not read it yet, you should try it.</p>
<p>“Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm – but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it. Or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.”
<p>And pretty much all of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock</p>
<p>“It’s what I was born for, isn’t it? If I don’t go, why am I alive?” (Ender’s Game)</p>

<p>“Daughter!”
“Father!”
“Dandin!”
“Sir!”</p>

<p>Does anyone have LotR handy? I don’t remember these exactly:
“Yes, Sam, [the Shire] has been saved. But it has not been saved for me…” 
“Now that I am free to go, I would stay. I would be a Healer, and work good, and not think any longer of swords and battle…” (Eowyn, in the House of Healing. Sad, but reasonable.)</p>
<p>And from HP:
“The prophecy changes nothing![…]if that prophecy had not been made, would you still [want Voldemort dead]?”
Harry thought…
“Yes. And I’d want to do it myself.”</p>
