Err.... got this from a post on my Facebook Fun Wall. ^_^ . But it made a lot of sense.

 

 

"There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future."

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

It was the Sunday afternoons he couldn’t cope with, and that terrible listlessness

that starts to set in at about 2:55, when you know you’ve taken all the

baths you can usefully take that day, that however hard you stare at any

given paragraph in the newspaper you will never actually read it, or use the

revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the

clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o’clock, and you will enter

the long dark teatime of the soul.

 

—Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe, and Everything (1982)

"Happiness is to see the world in a grain of sand,

and Heaven in a wild flower,

to hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

and eternity in a single hour."

- William Blake

Of all the wonders that I yet have seen

it seems to me most strange that men should fear

seeing that death, a necessary end

will come when it will come.

 

Cowards die a thousand times before their deaths,

the valiant never taste of death but once.

 

 

William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

"You know it's kinda funny, how you can find meaning from things you wouldn't think to look. Like on a tv show- The truth always comes out, it's one of the fundamental rules of time. And when it comes out it can set you free, or end everything you've fought so hard for. Another way the truth comes out. When you don't even mean it too, or when, without saying a word it's still heard loud and clear. But the worst thing the truth can do? Is when you finally tell it, it doesn't set you free, but locks you away forever." - Gossip Girl
