Life won't kill you... at least not today!

"even in the midst of all these beautiful lies
we have learned to believe
or fall like the dimming stars..."

---

"...we have the responsibility and the joy of being alive in this planet. That we only have precious little time to make a difference. That we have a moral obligation to 'seize the day, and make our lives extraordinary'. That the world, basically is ours. That the only limitations are within ourselves, and that we owe it to us to fight, to rebel against conformity, to change what we hate and keep what we love. That living in this world is a beautiful responsibility, and that only cowards dare not to change it for the better."
-Perth on DEAD POETS SOCIETY

Featured Video: Comfort in Your Strangeness Cynthia Alexander Random movie quotes: Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more? -Celine, Before Sunrise Tristan: There are other things to live for: duty, honor. Isolde: But they are not life, Tristan. They are the shells of life, and empty ones if in the end all they hold are days and days without love. Love is made by God. Ignore it and you suffer as you cannot imagine. -Tristan and Isolde When you see something from afar, you develop a fantasy. But when you see it up close, 9 times out of 10, you wish you hadn't. -Matthew, Wicker Park God must be a painter. Why else would we have so many colors? -Alicia , A Beautiful Mind I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt. -Celine, Before Sunrise Becky: I love the sky. It's so limitless. Gilbert: It is big. It's very big. Becky: Big doesn't even sum it up, right? That-That word "big" is so small. You'd have to get those really giant words to describe the sky. -What's Eating Gilbert Grape Finn: What's it like not to feel anything? Estella: Let's say there was a little girl, and from the time she could understand, she was taught to fear... let's say she was taught to fear daylight. She was taught that it was her enemy, that it would hurt her. And then one sunny day, you ask her to go outside and play and she won't. You can't be angry at her, can you? -Great Expectations I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life, you realize it only happens a few times. Celine, Before Sunset I still see things that are not here. I just choose not to acknowledge them. Like a diet of the mind, I just choose not to indulge certain appetites; like my appetite for patterns; perhaps my appetite to imagine and to dream. -Nash, A Beautiful Mind We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? -John Keating, Dead Poets Society When I was a kid, I thought I was. I can't believe I'm crying already. Sometimes I think people don't understand how lonely it is to be a kid, like you don't matter. So, I'm eight, and I have these toys, these dolls. My favorite is this ugly girl doll who I call Clementine, and I keep yelling at her, "You can't be ugly! Be pretty!" It's weird, like if I can transform her, I would magically change, too. -Clementine, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind You don't know how lucky you are being a monkey. Because consciousness is a terrible curse. I think. I feel. I suffer. And all I ask in return is the opportunity to do my work. And they won't allow it... because I raise issues. -Craig, Being John Malkovich Sucking the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone. -John Keating, Dead Poets Society Jesse: Right, so what are you saying? That reincarnation doesn't exist, or that we're all young souls like where half of us are first round humans? Celine: No, no. What I'm trying to say is that somehow I believe reincarnation is just a - a poetic expression of what collective memory really is. -Waking Life Random thoughts for Valentine's day, 2004. Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap. -Joel, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
