97)"I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach." -Maya Angelou
98)"Love can't make you strong 'til love has made you weak." -Catie Curtis

I think that every one of us would try, more than anything else, not to repeat himself, at the very least he would rearrange his manner of life, he would make sure of rooms like these, with flowers and light..." -Anton Chekhov
100)"If we discovered that we had only five minutes left to say all that we wanted to say, every telephone booth would be occupied by people calling other people to stammer that they loved them." -Charles Morley
101)"We need time to dream, time to remember, and time to reach the infinite. Time to be." -Gladys Taber
102)"I try very hard to live by the saying 'To thine own self be true' and to live life for myself because, ultimately, no one else is going to get anything out of it but me. I work hard to let people be who they are, knowing that any amount of judging them won't change them. There are many things I can say I need in life, but when it comes down to it, the only thing that will make me happy when I'm having a bad day is knowing I'm wanted, that people would rather have me in this world than not. Because there are those times when you forget how it feels to be alive, you forget you would rather be in this world than not be in it. For me the most important thing is to laugh. I need to laugh. I need to laugh my whole entire life. Laugh so much people think I'm crazy and then get them laughing with me." -Heather Wolf-Smith

105)"...I think we're all lonely. I think that's the human condition. I think we all feel loneliness, but I'm not afraid of it and I'm not afraid of being alone. I see the suffering of feeling lonely. I have felt loneliness; I've felt lonely with people and without them. But I've only grown from it, learned from it. The negative impact has disappeared for me in the face of all the positive things I've learned. I find that when you get upset by loneliness or you fell like crying or you get that painful feeling, it isn't a bad thing. I just look at it as feelings." -Amy Ray
106)"When the heart dares to speak, it needs no preparation." -Gotthold Ephriam Lessing
107)"I could lay here and read all night. I am not able to fall asleep without reading. You have that time when your brain has nothing constructive to do so it rambles. I fool my brain out of that by making it read until it shuts off. I just think it is best to do something right up until you fall asleep." -Kaye Gibbons
108)"Cause to me, it's, there's nothing that's personal and private, it's all universal. There's no experience that I have ever had that's unique. And the fact that there is just certain stuff that we share but don't admit to and don't talk about. You know, what is that about?" -Ani Difranco
109)"There are so many people I need to talk to, but I can't." -Holly Deal

111)"The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart." -Maya Angelou
112)"There are...people we wonder about but don't make...attempts to contact. Perhaps we're afraid of empty conversation with someone we're not sure if we ever connected to in the first place, or perhaps we're curious about someone whose life we watched for awhile from afar. Sometimes it's just been too long, and sometimes we can't even articulate the need to know whatever happened to so-and-so. Where are they? Did they make it? Are they happy? Are they passionate about something in their lives? Are they anything like the people we once knew?" -Audrey Beth Stien

114)"Deep down, beneath all our insecurities, beneath all our hopes for and beliefs in equality, each of us believes we're better than anyone else. Because it's our beliefs that are right, our doubts that are allowable ones, our fears which are legitimate." -Audrey Beth Stien
115)"Well, birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year's gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, each flicker of the candles on the cake we know it's not to be. That for the rest of our sad, wretched, pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably. Happy birthday? No such thing." -Jerry Seinfeld
116)"You live and you learn and you hope things get better."
117)"Associate with the noblest people you can find; read the best books; live with the mighty. But learn to be happy alone. Rely upon your energies, and so do not wait for, or depend on other people." -Professor Thomas Davidson
118)"Did you hear about that woman who got paid $3 million for spilling hot coffee on her crotch at McDonalds? Three million dollars!! I wish someone had given me that opportunity before I wasted all that time in college! If they had just laid it all out for me 'Ok, you can spend four to five years at a local university, graduate, and earn maybe $30,000 a year, working every single day for the rest of your life.

134)"Are you afraid no one loves you? Because my mom says that people really do love each other. They just get confused sometimes and forget how to let each other know." -Francine Pascal
135)"See, there's thinking about him, right? Which is what I do. All the time. It's like an obsession. It keeps me going. Like I need that to get through the day because it's an obsession.

So I don't know what to do, because maybe if I ruin it tonight, maybe I'd be better off just having the fantasy..." -My So-Called Life

It's a long list no matter what. Try to keep it as short as possible." -Gordon Drizschilo
143)"What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence.

153)"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed." -Chamfort
154)"For me, photographs take their power from memory and emotion. A picture tells its own story, shaped by the mood or insights of the person you are at the time you see it.

Compliment a strangers festive hat or whistle a tune for someone who's feeling down: And if you're feeling down yourself, do it anyway...sometimes making someone else feel good is the best thing you can do for yourself. Oh, and remind yourself too. That you love yourself, and that you're special. Because it's true, and the more you keep saying it, the easier it is to remember. Loving ourselves and loving each other builds the community that makes life all worthwhile." -Audrey Beth Stein
195)"Goodnight, goodnight! Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow." -Juliet in Romeo+Juliet
196)"Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy." -Found in Old Saint Paul's Church, Baltimore; Dated April, 1692

Julia: Can I hear it?

Julia: I don't mind
Robbie: Okay, I just want to remind you that when I came up with this I was listening to the Cure a lot.
Robbie(singing):
You don't know how much I need you.
While your near me I don't feel blue.
When we kiss I know you need me too
Can't believe I found a love that's so pure and true.
But it all was bullsh**
It was a god damned joke
When I think of you Linda
I hope you f***ing choke
I hope your glad with what you've done to me
I lay in bed all day long feeling meloncholy
You left me here all alone...tears running constantly
Oh somebody kill me please, Oh somebody kill me please
I'm on my knees pretty, pretty please. Kill me,
Put a bullet in my head
I want to die

Oh, I remember you in the TV light, holding you close to me where we lay. And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights. Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me. It was only last night in the winter dark, I dreamed of how you loved in all your innocence, and I’ve never known a softer, warmer feeling since; or a truer heart.

343)"It seems that fears are all based on these things: illusion and future thinking, with a side order of 'What if.' 'What if that truck turns suddenly into our lane' 'What if I'm all alone at age 80?' What if? What if? What if? Yes, fears must be respected and learned about, but they must not paralyze us, or lure us into a half-life of being afraid all the time. I liked to think of my fears being driven away in a Rolls Royce (for it is true that once you face a fear, it loses all of its stuffing, and will sit quietly in the back seat and do as it's told.) I feel that fears drive us away from our true selves--innocent beings. I used to live in denial of my fears, and try to cover them up with a 'happy face.'

He closes his eyes, and he escapes, to any somewhere, his favorite place. The sun's warmth becomes, the scent of a pine tree, or its brightness like, the depths of the sea. He might go to the ocean, or to the woods. He'd stay there forever, if he only could. When he goes there, he's reminded that he's, part of a world bigger than one man ever sees. It's in this place, independence he knows. Does he need the group? Absolutely no! And when he returns, still smelling salt-air or pine, the group wonders where, he had gone all this time.

You could do poorly in a class and know you had time to improve. You could mess up in your relationship and have time to make things better.
