<p>“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”

<li><p>(My favorite and the one that I quote most) “You’re garbage who kills for money.”-Batman</p></li>
</ol>
<p>“Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” - Eunice Kennedy Shriver</p>
<p>As the tide washed in, the Dutch tulip man faced the ocean. “Conjoiner, rejoinder, poisoner, concealer, revelator. Look at it,” he said. “Rising up and rising down, taking everything with it.” “What’s that?” Anna asked.“Water,” the Dutchman said. “Well. And time." - From The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (shout out to my fellow nerdfighters!)</p>
<p>“An invisible red thread connects all those destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.” - Chinese Proverb</p>
<p>“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart: I am, I am, I am.” -Sylvia Plath</p>
<p>The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.
― Jane Austen</p>
<p>My long list of favorite quotes:</p>
<p>“Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel
the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself. To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. Does this sound dismal? It isn’t. It’s the most wonderful life on earth.” - e.e. cummings</p>
<p>“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families…re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.” Walt Whitman</p>
<p>“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” John Lennon</p>
<p>“The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice.” Mohandas Gandhi</p>
<p>“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says ‘Love your enemies,’ he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition: the chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</p>

Awesome last quote</p>
<p>@nemostudent you honestly would be surprised how often I use it (complete with voice.) xD</p>
<p>“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” -Chris McCandless</p>
<p>“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson</p>
<p>"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is out light not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. Theres nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. Its not just in some of us, its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.</p>
<p>“walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly” not as philisophical, but I still like it</p>
<p>uh here’s a quote from samuel jackson, a literary critic:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>and before he died:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“You cannot, in human experience, rush into the light. You have to go through the twilight into the broadening day before the noon comes and the full sun is upon the landscape.” - Woodrow Wilson</p>
<p>“We live in a time where popularity is measured by how many ‘friends’ one has on Facebook”
- Abe Lincoln at his inaugural adress</p>
<p>“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
- Winston Churchill</p>
<p>I was having a really rotten time a while back, just a long week and literally nothing was going my way, and I was a hysterical and crying wreck. I sat in my history teacher’s room telling her all about it, and she pointed to the aforementioned quote that she had sitting on her desk. Because what else can you do if everything else sucks? Keep going.</p>
<p>So thank you, good Sir Winston Churchill.</p>
<p>Elleya, it’s a really weird coincidence but at the desk I am sitting at right now I have that exact same quote engraved on a little metal cube and just before I read your comment I glanced at it. Weird right?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>An interesting coincidence, indeed!</p>
<p>Also; “To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is to be replaced.”
I guess it’s a Bible quote/passage/thing…but my dad always acted like he made it up himself and he was so clever. I always try to be early for things, so n_n.</p>
<p>A family original: “Don’t go away mad, just go away.”</p>
<p>“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”
– Mark Jenkins</p>
<p>I absolutely adore this quote!!!</p>
<p>“If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull.”
-W.C. Fields</p>
<p>This is what runs through my mind when I’m writing an essay. :D</p>
