What Side?

"Are You On Our Side And You Want To Be Different Or Are You On That Side And You Want To Throw A Football At My Head?" _Gerard Way

Past Is Past

"There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternally new now that builds and creates itself out of the Best as the past withdraws." _Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Force Within

"If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be." _John Heywood

Initiative and Courage

“You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. ” Abraham Lincoln

To Write

"Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to." _Carl Van Doren

A Much Greater Hunger

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat." _Mother Teresa

The Heaviest Burden

"God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight." _Reggie White

Sure You Can

"You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on." _David Harkins

When We're Incomplete

"When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter." _Tom Robbins
