What you feel is what you are, what you are is beautiful.
[Goo Goo Dolls.] ^_^
"When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.”
You have the bravest heart I´ve ever known
You have the strongest Will I´ve seen
With every step you take you touch my soul
With every breath you will succeed
The soul of an angel
Touched from above
Your Spirit is shining
Surrounded by love
You´ll feel emotions you have never known
There will be questions in your mind
Your sister left your side to help you grow
And now she watches while you shine
The soul of an angel
Touched from above
Your Spirit is shining
Surrounded by love

Reason: changed color so its diff from my sig lyrics
'in the quiet heart is hidden, sorrow that the eye can't see'
Apart from the first one, which I only found last night, these are the ones I take with me everywhere so I can look at them when I need to :)
"And she thought: I am just a tiny person in Africa, but there is a place for me, and for everybody, to sit down on this earth and touch it and call it their own." - from "The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency" by Alexander McCall Smith
"Be yourself, don't take anyone's s**t, and never let them take you alive" - Gerard Way
"Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person" - Gerard Way
"All you can be is just you, 'cos you're real, not the plastic type" - N.E.R.D (or whatever they're called) - Breakout
"Live right now, just be yourself, it doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else" - Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."
"Great changes may not happen right away, but with effort even the difficult may become easy."
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
Woodrow Wilson
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Krishnamurti
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Ghandi
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind. Ghandi
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. C.S. Lewis
When life itself is lunatic who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams, this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness, but maddest of all--to see life as it is and not as it should be. from Don Quixote
If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes
from "Bad" by U2

“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”
“If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”
"so i guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. and maybe we'll never know most of them. but even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there."
"The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others. "
