I like quotes. They make me think which is usually a good thing. So here's a few for you and hopefully one or two will strike you enough to remember it!
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. ~ Anatole France
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
~F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav’n so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
~William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
You owe it to us all to get on with what you’re good at. ~W. H. Auden
The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking. ~John Kenneth Galbraith
Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. ~Winston Churchill
I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.
~ Anna Quindlen
Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
~Eleanor Roosevelt
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds.
~William Shakespeare
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
~P. J. O'Rourke
Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.
~Victor Hugo
But never have I been a blue, calm sea. I have always been a storm.
~Stevie Nicks, "Storms
Do one thing everyday that scares you. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.
~Colette
