Their case is well founded, the judgement is a judgement of truth, and ultimately, all is prepared for the feast." - Rabbi Akiva

"Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you." – Tyrion Lannister
Dance is never coming out JUST BE PATIENT while the fat one writes WILD CARDS for the better part of a DECADE whilst ignoring his MAGNUM OPUS
Opinion on George EZ?
My facebook quotes aren't inspirational at all, they're a collection of amusing stuff my friends have said over the years:
"The worse you are at thinking, the better you are at drinking."
"Here in Canada we have a special program to deal with the homeless...it's called winter"
"I had a dream about a game show where parents compete to see who can keep their baby in the freezer the longest"
"[Lysosomes] sound like the Grim Reapers of the biological world"
"Oh and by the way [my name] you were right"
"If the guy was kind of gross, but he could dance i would totally give him a second chance"
In terms of actual quotes, I like this one from Blake:
To see a world in a grain of sand / And a heaven in a wild flower / Hold infinity in the palm of your hand / And eternity in an hour.
Also, most of The Second Coming (Yeats) / The Road Not Taken (Frost)

Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.

Forrest Gump, my favourite movie:
Jenny Curran: Do you ever dream, Forrest, about who you're gonna be?
Forrest Gump: Who I'm gonna be?
Jenny Curran: Yeah.
Forrest Gump: Aren't-aren't I going to be me?
Forrest Gump: My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
Forrest Gump: You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Momma always said dyin' was a part of life.

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work. –Horace
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents. -Andrew Carnegie
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

turning it over in your mind.

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
Godly quote *steals*
-
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To believe is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
