[glow=purple,2,90000]From the book Alias talked about Tuesday with Morrie & I put only a lil, the more significant to me coz they are way too many great ones:
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love & how to let it come in." huh huh, easy to say
"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other ppl trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too, -even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."[/glow]

Tuesdays with Morrie quotes i like these: "Most of us walk around as if we’re sleepwalking. We really don’t experience the world fully, because we’re half-asleep doing things we automatically think we have to do." "If you’re trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you’re trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. "

I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)
I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience. Shelley Winters (1922 - )
I'd rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I'm not. Kurt Cobain

"For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the pasts is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable - what then?"[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,90000]Some quote about music :
Friedrich Nietzsche Without music, life would be a mistake.
Pat Conroy Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Aldous Huxley After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
Victor Hugo Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
Thomas Carlyle Music is well said to be the speech of angels; in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the Infinite.
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~ Red Auerbach [/glow]

"You've always got to look the brighter side of death."
That's from the movie "Van Helsing." I dunno if I said it right. Kate Beckinsale's character said it though...

[glow=purple,2,90000]Quotes from 1984 - George Orwell :
The best books are those that tell you what you know already.
Sanity is not statistical.
They sye that time 'eals all things, They sye you can always forget, But the smiles an' the tears across the years They twist my 'eart-strings yet!
It was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody [...] and people under the sky were also very much the same - everywhere, all over the world, hundreds of thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one's another existence, helf apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet, almost exactly the same - people who had never learned to think but who where storing up in their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the world.
Where there is equality, there can be sanity.
Nothing in the world was so bad as phisical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.
When you delude yourself into thinking that you see something, you assume that everyone else sees the same thinf as you. But reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind and nowhere else.
Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.
What knowledge have we of anything, save through out own minds? All happening are in the mind. Whatever happens in all minds, truly happens.[/glow]
