Favorite saying

• ""I don't care if you're black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich, or poor. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that." -Eminem "I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." -Mewtwo Prince Zuko: There's no honor for me without the Avatar. Uncle Iroh: Zuko. [Uncle sighs] Uncle Iroh: Even if you did capture the Avatar, I'm not so sure it would solve our problems. Not now. Prince Zuko: Then there's no hope at all. Uncle Iroh: No! Zuko! You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength. -Avatar: The Last Airbender Book 2 Chapter 5 "Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." Dalai Lama "Take care, spike your hair. Woo woo woo! You know it! I know it." -Zack Ryder “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” -Dr.Seuss “Do not compromise yourself. You are all you have got.” ~Janis Joplin "Sometimes you find that what is most personal is also what connects you most strongly with others." - Grace Paley "You spend years wishing your parents would get off your back, only to realize they’re the only ones who ever really had your back." -Unknown "When does a man die? When he is hit by a bullet? No! When he suffers a disease? No! When he ate a soup made out of a poisonous mushroom? No! A man dies when he is forgotten!" -Dr. Hiriluk (One Piece) "I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn how to let go. Things go wrong, so that you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies, so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things falls apart so better things can fall together." (Marilyn Monroe) "Stop the hate, I dream of a world where there is peace and the tranquillity of the mind. A world where people learn how to love and not to hate. And people don't demoralize themselves by making fun of others. A world where being nice is human nature and good things happen because of good intentions. I am the hope of the universe. I am the answer to all ...living things that cry out for peace. I am protector of the innocent. I am the light in the darkness. I am truth. Ally to good! Nightmare to you!" (Me) "The role of the advocator, the voice of the people, is to change the government and not let it change you. I'll keep doing what I'm doing until that change happens!" - Saqif Bhuiyan Abed: The truth is lots of girls like me because, let's face it, I'm pretty adorable, and, uh, my aloofness unconsciously reminds them of their fathers, so... I'm more used to them approaching me. Britta: So we didn't damage your self-esteem or anything? Abed: Britta, I've got self-esteem falling out of my butt. That's why I was willing to change for you guys. When you really know who you are and what you like about yourself, changing for other people isn't such a big deal. [There is a pause] Jeff: Abed, you're a god. "I want to fish as deep down as possible into my own subconscious in the belief that once that far down, everyone will understand because they are the same that far down." - Jack Kerouac "I know I say MATH IS NUMBER #1, but really family is No. 1!!!" - Mr. Richard Geller Memory is finite. Thinking is infinite. -Mr. Kavanagh "The man dies. Flesh like all mortal things rots and decays. But Saqif and his ideas will live on forever. Cherish that." -Michael Evans "All the people you meet here have one thing to teach you." Eddie was skeptical. His fists stayed clenched. "What?" he said. "That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind." ("The Five People You Meet In Heaven") I've been here for 4 years and I only wish that I had been better. Nicer, smarter, and greater. Yet I regret nothing. Our paths have crossed in high school and hopefully they will cross again. Good luck friend. "No life is a waste," the Blue Man said. "The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone." ("The Five People You Meet In Heaven") "Each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one." ("The Five People You Meet In Heaven") "That's what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays." ("The Five People You Meet In Heaven") "Giving up pride is like learning to care for others because for once in my life it's not about what others see in me, but what I see in others." -Saqif Bhuiyan "Fuck the Russia!" (The Kite Runner pg. 132)"
