<p>What are your faves?
I adore this quote:</p>

<p>Find a guy that calls you BEAUTIFUL instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat or will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup.
One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you.
The one who turns to his friends and say "THATS HER"!</p>

<p>“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”-William Faulkner</p>

And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure.”-Queen & Bowie</p>

<p>“A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
–albert einstein</p>
