[WildernessWildChild]

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours. But to win it requires total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is a sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence, which is man, for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the morality of life and yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth.

-Ayn Rand

“I’m quite harmless now you see. To you. And now nobody can hurt me on the inside. I have this trick—anything you can do to me, I do to myself already. And I hit harder than you ever could.” –‘Second Star to the Right’, Deborah Hautzig.

You don’t have to be pretty. You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”. - Unfortunately, I don't remember who it was who said this. I think it's quite obvious why I like this one.

"Damaged people are dangerous, because they know they can survive." - I don't know the source for this one either.

"That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong." - William J.H. Boetcker. Self explanatory why I like this.

"Metaphors are not to be trifled with. A single metaphor can give birth to love." - Milan Kundera. I love Milan Kundera's writing.

If the hand you are holding is holding you back...let go.

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he(she) really is.

Jim Morrison

''You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.''
-Buddha

Happiness is a perfume. You cannot sprinkle on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

"Real friends don't get offended when you insult them. They smile and call you something even more offensive."

Lol don't know how true this is.

It's not the cough that carries you off. It's the coffin they carry you off in.
