(Lisa Robertson)
All changes, even those most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another.
(Author Unknown)
Until today, you may not have realized that your life provides the content
of your obituary. Just for today, examine your life. Think about all the things
you want to leave behind. Remember, the good thing about doing this today
is that you still have time to rewrite your life's content if necessary.
(Iyanla Vanzant)

I think that love, not imitation, is the sincerest form of flattery.
Your imitator thinks you can be duplicated; your lover knows you can't.

The campus (Mont Alto) was distant from the community. A research study showed students
not coming to Mont Alto because of its rural location. To get there, you follow
windy roads, which are not well lit. People were more willing to go to the mall.

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it,
it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music.
But man, there's no boundary line to art.
(Charlie Parker)
The radar is picking up a line of thundershowers which extends from a point
9 miles NNE of Sicorgus, New Jersey, along a line and 6 miles either side of the line to a point 5 miles SSW of Fonduloch.However, the radar is also picking up a squadron of Russian ICBMs...
so I wouldn't sweat the thundershowers.

It is in learning music that many a youthful heart has learned to love.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears
a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

The music may stop now and then,
But the strings remain forever.

Some questions are better left unanswered....and some answers are better left unquestioned.
(Remington Steele)
All our young lives we search for someone to love, someone who makes us complete.
We choose partners and change partners.
We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope, all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us.
(The Wonder Years)
A nerd is someone whose life is focused on computers and technology.
A geek is someone whose life is focused on computers and technology...and likes it that way.

There are two days in the week about which and upon which I never worry.
Two carefree days, kept sacredly free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is Yesterday...and the other day I do not worry about is Tomorrow
(Robert Jones Burdette)
As the rain hides the stars, as the autumn mist hides the hills, as the
clouds veil the blue of the sky, so the dark happenings of my lot hide the
shining of thy face from me. Yet, if I may hold thy hand in the
darkness, it is enough. Since I know that, though I may stumble in my
going, Thou dost not fall.
(Traditional Scottish Gaelic, translated by Alistair MacLean))
Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules,
then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.
(Unknown)
Relationships--of all kinds--are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely,
with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand
and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
(Kaleel Jamison)
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
(Albert Camus)
I do not want a friend
Who smiles when I smile
Who weeps when I weep
For my shadow in the pool
Can do better than that.
(Confucious)
Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have
a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve.
You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.
(Martin Luther King)
When we walk to the end of all the light we have,
And take a step into the darkness of the unknown,
We must believe one of two things will happen:
That we will land on something solid,
Or we will learn to fly.
(Unknown)
If all my friends were to jump off a bridge, I wouldn't

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
(Unknown)
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

With a rubber duck, one's never alone
(Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams)
Into love and out again,
Thus I went and thus I go.
Spare your voice, and hold your pen:
Well and bitterly I know
All the songs were ever sung,
All the words were ever said;
Could it be, when I was young,
Someone dropped me on my head?
(Dorothy Parker)
Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying.

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again,
and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
(Richard Bach)
Growing up sucks...and not all kisses are magic, and most boys do not live up
to your expectations. But there are those times when everything, I mean love, romance,
relationships...it all falls together perfectly, and it's incredible...it's those moments, no
matter how depressingly few and far between that make growing up worth it. And it'll be okay
(Dawson's Creek)

Happiness is something that comes through doors
We don't even remember leaving open

Hold a true friend with both your hands
(Nigerian Proverb)
That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out if it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.
(Great Expectations - Charles Dickens)
Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget
(G. Randolf)
Look forward to dreams. Cry during movies.
Swing as high as you can on a swingset, by moonlight.
Cultivate moods.
Do it for love. Take lots of naps.
Take moonbaths.
Giggle with children.
Listen to old people.
Drive away fear. Play with everything.
Entertain your inner child.
Build a fort with blankets.
Get wet. Hug trees. Write love letters.
(Sark)
Isn't sanity just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean, all you get is that one thing, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, well, the sky's the limit!

For all the sad words of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these: "it might have been"
