Love Quotes 22

"The way you are is not the result of what has happened to
you, it’s the result of what you decide to keep inside of
you."

"Humans are an interesting species. An interesting mix,
they are capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible
nightmares, they feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, but we
are not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we have
found that makes this bearable is each other."

"Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe,
you have to let go of who you were to become who you will
be."

"You risked your life, but what else have you ever risked?
Have you ever risked disapproval? Have you ever risked a
belief? I see nothing particularly courageous in risking
one's life. So, you lose it, you go to your hero's heaven
and everything is milk and honey 'til the end of time,
right? You get your reward and suffer no earthly
consequences. That's not courage. Real courage is risking
something that you have to keep on living with, real
courage is risking something that might force you to
rethink your thoughts and suffer change and stretch
consciousness. Real courage is risking one's cliches."

"To live is the rarest thing in the in the world. Most
people exist, that is all."
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read
and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
And, the human race is filled with passion. And medicine,
law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and
necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance,
love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from
Whitman, 'O me! O life!... of the questions of these
recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of
cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me,
O life? Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and
identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may
contribute a verse.' That the powerful play goes on and you
may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"
~Dead Poets Society

"Somehow, the conversation mentioned your name. And,
someone asked if I knew you. Looking away I thought of all
the times we had together; sharing laughter, tears, jokes
and tons more. And then, without explanation you were gone.
I looked to where they were waiting for an answer, and then
said softly, 'Once...I thought I did.'"

"Don't waste your time caring about the people who don't
like you -- chances are you don't like them either. Don't
waste your time worrying if people are talking about you...
you've affected their lives, they didn't affect yours.
Waste your time with friends -- live for the moment, laugh
often, be immature, do anthing and everything. If it's
something you'll regret in the morning, sleep late and when
you wake up, laugh about it with your friends, cause your
friends are what matter most. When you have your friends...
you have everything."

"we say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love
trees, yet we cut them down. And, people still wonder why
some are afraid when told they are loved."

"All your life, you are told the things you cannot do. All
your life, they will say you’re not good enough or strong
enough or talented enough. They’ll say you’re the wrong
height or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve
this. They will tell you 'no' a thousand times 'no' until
every 'no' just becomes meaningless. All your life, they
will tell you 'no' quite firmly and very quickly. They will
tell you 'no', and you will tell them 'yes.'"

"Having a true faith is the most difficult thing in the
world. Many will try to take it from you."

"Man imposes his own limitations, don't set any."


"The greatest pleasure in life, is doing the things people
say we cannot do."

"One can live at a low flame. Most people do. For some,
life is an exercise in moderation (best china saved for
special occasions), but given something like death, what
does it matter if one looks foolish now and then, or tries
too hard, or cares too deeply?"

"Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and
you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot."
