"After all, there's nothing but fear reflected in your sword.
When you dodge, "I'm afraid of getting cut".
When you attack, "I'm afraid of cutting someone".
Even when you try to protect someone; "I'm afraid of letting them die".
Yes, your sword only speaks to me of absurd fear. That's not it. What's necessary in a fight isn't fear. Nothing can be born from that.
If you dodge, "I won't let them cut me".
If you protect someone, "I won't let them die".
If you attack, "I'll cut them".
Well can't you see...the resolve to cut you reflected in my sword?"

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the
joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he
discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his
friendship. " - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."

Treat me like an angel and I'll be your lil' devil.
Crazy is a relative term in my family!
Men, chocolate, and coffee are all better rich.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to.
Procrastinate now, don't put it off.

" Muhammad my friend
It's time to tell the world
We both know it was a girl back in Bethlehem
And on that fateful day
When she was crucified
She wore Shiseido Red and we drank tea
By her side"

There's one thing to know about this town:
It's five hundred miles underground;
There's one thing to know about this globe:
It's bound and it's willing to explode.

Finding a true friend is like panning for gold. You have to sift through the fakes to find the real ones.
When it hurts to look back, and you are scared to look ahead, look beside you and your bestfriend will be there.
A boyfriend stabs you in the heart, a stranger stabs you in the front, a friend stabs you in the back, but best friends don't carry knives.

"I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." - Umberto Eco
"Think how much worse it would be if life was fair, and all the awful things that happened to us happened because we actually deserve them. I for one take great comfort in the completely impersonal hostility of the universe." - Unknown
These are some of the quotes that I hang onto when times are difficult.

Tragedy (The Austin Cello Version), by Brandi Carlile |

A bibliophile of little means is likely to suffer often. Books don't slip from his hands but fly past him through the air, high as birds, high as prices.
-Pablo Neruda, "Memoirs," ch. 11, 1974; tr. 1977.
"What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books."
-Thomas Carlyle
If I were founding a university I would begin with a smoking room; next a dormitory; and then a decent reading room and a library. After that, if I still had more money that I couldn't use, I would hire a professor and get some text books.
-Stephen Leacock
An ordinary man can surround himself with two thousand books and thenceforward have at least one place in the world in which it is possible to be happy.
-Augustine Birrell
A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is wrong to his family. Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost a warrant against the inferior excitement of passions and vices.
-Horace Mann
The books one reads in childhood, and perhaps most of all the bad and good bad books, create in one's mind a sort of false map of the world, a series of fabulous countries into which one can retreat at odd moments throughout the rest of life...
-George Orwell, "Riding Down from Bangor"
Enjoy!

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
- Oprah Winfrey
Soul-mates are people who bring out the best in you. They are not perfect but are always perfect for you.
- Author Unknown
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

If you had to spend the rest of your life with someone you love or someone who loves you, who would you pick? Pick someone who loves you, because you can always learn to love them, but you can never make someone love you.
