<pre><code>The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

<p>Douglas Adams quotes! (you can never pick just one)</p>

<p>“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”</p>

<p>I’m going to be a total girl here, and post a favorite quote that is neither inspirational nor humorous. But it’s my favorite quote, so what the hell:</p>

<p>“And he suddenly knew that if she killed herself, he would die. Maybe not immediately, maybe not with the same blinding rush of pain, but it would happen. You couldn’t live for very long without a heart.” - The Pact by Jodi Picoult</p>

<p>“To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure” - Dumbledore (J.K. Rowling)</p>

<p>–David Whyte</p>

<p>Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is an underrated movie, I quote:</p>

<p>“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”</p>

<p>“A person should not believe in an “-ism,” he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, “I don’t believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.””</p>

<p>“I do have a test today, that wasn’t bullsh**. It’s on European Socialism. I mean, really, what’s the point? I’m not European. I don’t plan on being European. So, who gives a crap if they’re Socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still wouldn’t change the fact that I don’t own a car.”</p>

<p>“The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It’s a good non-specific symptom. I’m a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you a good phoney fever is a deadlock, but you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor’s office–that’s worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you’re bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It’s a little childish and stupid, but then so is high school.”</p>

<p>“Cameron, dear friend, you thought we wouldn’t have any fun. Shame on you.”</p>

<p>All from the great Ferris Bueller</p>
