664)"Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets." -Ginny Wagner

673)"The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather what he does not say."-Kahlil Gibran
674)"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a school...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you...we are in charge of our Attitude."-Charles Swindoll

678)"Isn't it true that you start life a sweet child believing in everything under your father's roof? Then comes the day of the Laodiceans, when you know you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, and with the visage of a gruesome grieving ghost you go shuddering through nightmare life."-Jack Kerouac
679)"If everybody was blind, no one would know who to hate."

688)"Sometimes new love comes between old friends. Sometimes the best love was the one that was always there."--"Reality Bites"
689)"It's not enough to have a dream unless I'm willing to pursue it. It's not enough to know what's right unless I'm strong enough to do it. It's not enough to join the crowd, to be acknowledged and accepted. I must be true to my ideals, even if I'm excluded and rejected. It's not enough to learn the truth unless I also learn to live it. It's not enough to reach for love unless I care enough to give it."
690)"And what it all comes down to is that we haven't got it all figured out just yet."--Alanis Morrisette
691)"'You'll get over it.' It's the cliches that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The articluarness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not stopped by anyone but death. The hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?" --Jeannette Winterson
692)"I am strong because I believe in myself. I know who I am and what I can do. It doesn't matter what I look like, where I live, or who my friends are. What matters is the confidence that I carry within."--Reebok

696)"Not all of your decisions will be correct. None of us are perfect. But if you get into the habit of making decisions, experience will develop your judgment to a point where more and more of your decisions will be right. After all, it is better to be right 51 percent of the time and get something done, than it is to get nothing done because you fear to reach a decision."---H. W. Andrews
697)"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."---Carl Jung
698)"A pessimist is a person who is always right but doesn’t get any enjoyment out of it, while an optimist, is one who imagines that the future is uncertain. It is a duty to be an optimist, because if you imagine that the future is uncertain, then you must do something about it."---Edward Teller
699)"Don’t fool yourself that you are going to have it all. You are not. Psychologically, having it all is not even a valid concept. The marvelous thing about human beings is that we are perpetually reaching for the stars. The more we have, the more we want. And for this reason, we never have it all." ---Joyce Brothers
700)"There’s a constant contradiction with what feels good, and what feels right, and you live with the decisions that you make in your life.” -Randy Travis
701)"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off and also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today, as they may be connected to the ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow."
702)"The night is bright, with a starlit sky, I sit and think, as time passes by. Oh starry night, with a moonlit sky, take me away, and tell me why. Give me a reason, for love’s end, give me a reason, for why I lost a friend. I sit and think, all night long, about the things, that all went wrong. Starlit sky, give me a reason why.” -Starlit Night
703)"My knees start to shake, when you’re in sight, my mind’s filled with wonder, my heart with fright. When will this feeling stop? When did it start? How can I listen to my mind, without breaking my heart? I’m so confused, what can I do? I can’t think of anything, except of you. Should I ignore you? Or just give this time? I can’t think straight, my heart controls my mind.” -Confusion
704)"His eyes, are like crystal blue streams. His hair, is a golden color, only seen in my dreams. His skin, is as soft and smooth as silk, and looks as creamy as fresh, cold milk. When I look at him, and hear his voice, my heart beats faster, it has no choice. My stomach flutters endlessly, I only wish, that he could see, how much his love, means to me.” -Him…
705)"When my heart can beat no more, I hope I die for a principle, or a belief that I had lives for. I will die before my time, because I feel the shadows depth, so much I wanted to accomplish before I’ve reached my death.” -2-Pac, 1971-1996, RIP

710)"If you don’t understand yourself you don’t understand anybody else.” -Nikki Giovanni
711)"If I Had My Life To Live Over: I’d dare to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax, I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I’m one of those people who lives sensibly and sanely, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I’ve had my mo0ments, and if I had it to do over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else, just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I’ve been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.” -Nadine Stair
712)"I sit alone a lot, but I do not mind it. I’m just waiting for my something clean to fill this emptiness, but it’s been so long, I think I may never find it. You worked for a bit, I could look in the mirror and smile, I felt complete with you near me, but that lasted a short while. I realize only half the shit you say turns out to be true, so I just look you square in the eyes…call me when it’s convenient for you…things move so slowly now, each minute seemingly a year, I wait around for nothing, but nothing’s what I fear. I’ve taken comfort in the monotony of the pain that embrace and what I wouldn’t give to smash my nothing in your face, and I fell so fast, so hard, and I’m struggling to get up. But never will I let you win. I’ll never admit I’m stuck…I used to live to dream, now I dream to live. I’ve realized I’ll never accept the things which no one can give; and each morning as I dress, I pretend I’m not really me, because really, I’m just pretending to be the girl you see, and it seems pointless to dream and live a lie, but there’s something in me that’s too strong to die, and it will hold me tight, and burden me with guilt, because I do need something there to keep me in this hell I’ve already built. And now I’m more alone than I ever was before, because when I let you go, you took a piece of me out that door, and I miss that piece because it kept me sane, and now I’m alone, with my naïve heart to blame.” -Jess
713)"People in general are cruel to one another. The only way to have fun to them is to make fun of someone. I hate that. Why can’t someone be different…why can’t someone be themselves without being made fun of? I hate society because of how they judge people and how everything is based on looks and shit. I’m sorry…but I’m not a jerk to others. So be nice or fuck yourself.”
714)"Okay have you ever liked a guy so much that sometimes, it tingles inside you when he walks by you and you don’t have the courage to say anything to him? Well, that’s my situation. This guy is so out of my league that it’s stupid even at the thought of me liking him but still I do. I can’t help it because strong feelings can’t be stopped, right?”
715)"When Daniel gets on stage, and he just sees, like um…an ugly female, he has this reaction to just…scream. And, like I reckon it’s heaps funny, cause the crowd thinks it’s cute, but they don’t know what he’s screaming at.” -Chris Jannou, silverchair

723)"Most men are the same. They're only interested in fucking you and they don't care whether you're happy or sad. They just want to get on with their business in and out of bed, and they make you feel that you don't count except as their sex toy." -Cameron Diaz
724)"Acting allows me to tell a lot of stories, you know start at the beginning, finish at the end, and tell everything in between. Modeling is just an image." -Cameron Diaz
725)"I write constantly, but only in my journals. I have three of them: one for travel, one for home, and one I write in before bed. But the last thing I want is other people reading it..... What's really fun is reading your journal, like a year later, or even a month, and realizing how much you've changed. You're looking at something you said, something you really meant at the time, and you're like, 'I can't believe I ever really believed that! I am such an asshole!' I think that's the greatest thing about growing up...." -Cameron Diaz
726)"Love…What is love? No word can define it, it’s something so great, only God could design it. Yes, love is beyond, what man can define, for love is immortal, and God’s gift is divine…”

729)"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” -Anais Nin

731)"Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful.

Love does not come to an end.” -1 Corinthians 13:4-8
732)"An angel in disguise she was, but somehow you fell for her. Until she broke your heart that day, and left you in the rain, but still I love you.” -Brandy

735)"Question with boldness even the existence of God. For if there be one, he surely more approves of the homage of reason than blindfold fear."-Thomas Jefferson
736)"Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For none of us, no not one, is perfect. Were we to love none who had imperfection, this world would be a desert for our love."-Thomas Jefferson
737)"Real poetry doesn't say anything, it just ticks off the possibilities, opens all doors; you can walk through any one that suits you. If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel."-Jim Morrison
738)"The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live right inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance, but live right in it, under its roof."-Barbara Kingsolver

757)"Today a young man on Acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one conscienceness experiencing itself subjectively.

762)"I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather....Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.” -Bumper Sticker
763)"I'm quite in love with the human race and this planet we live on. I see life as very fresh and beautiful. People say to me 'Oh you have the world in your hands,' or 'You're young, and you have all these opportunities.' But that's not why I feel the way I do... I get very frustrated with the pace of my life -- I want so badly for people just to understand each other and communicate better. With all this technology is this the best we can do?" -River Pheonix
764)"I wouldn't mind dying in a plane crash. It'd be a good way to go. I don’t want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or OD...I want to feel what its like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is only going to happen to you once; I don’t want to miss it." -Jim Morrison
765)"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain." -Jim Morrison

767)"I get shocked by people smoking cigarettes sometimes. I get shocked by watching talk shows. People’s moralities are so far below what I would consider standard. SAT results should be directly linked to a death sentence. Those who don't reach a certain score would be executed.” -Marilyn Manson

773)"Dreams are the answers to questions that we haven't yet figured out how to ask." -Fox Mulder, The X Files
774)"Don't you understand what the means when you have that music inside you, what comes out? People say, 'Well, I can't carry a note, I can't sing, I'm tone deaf.' But nobody's tone deaf. All it takes is just love, because in the final analysis, love is power. That's where the power's at. And you want to tell me that you gave it to him, but I know different, 'cause I'm a musician. And that's really all there is to that." -Mike Nesmith, The Devil and Peter Tork

776)"All I need from anyone is love and respect, and anyone who can't give me that has no business in my life.” -Torch Song Trilogy
777)"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies because of blinding errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, and tarnishing." Anais Nin
778)"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build this whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They do something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-out-you-apart pain. I hate love." -Neil Gaiman

786)"If you are going to walk on thin ice you might as well dance!”
787)"They are wrong who say that love is blind. On the contrary, nothing - not even the smallest detail - escapes the eyes; one sees everything in the loved one, notices everything; but melts it all into one flame with the great and simple: ‘I love you.’”
788)"But, O Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flint unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the gladdest days and in the darkest nights... always, always, and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath, as the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by.” -Major Sullivan Ballou
789)"By the age of six the average child will have completed the basic American education....

791)"I don’t mind you coming here and wasting all my time, ‘cause when you’re standing oh so near, I kinda lose my mind.” -The Cars
792)"Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of the what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.” -Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
793)"I believe that if I should die, and you were to walk near my grave, from the very depths of the earth i would hear your footsteps.” -Benito Perez Galdos
