Batch #7 10 months ago

Not really a “batch” persay. Just a couple Audrey ones I like.

“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.” – Audrey Hepburn

“People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.” – Audrey Hepburn



Batch #6 13 months ago

“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.” – Robert McCloskey

“The eyes shout what the lips fear to say.” – William Henry

“Love is an electric blanket with somebody else in control of the switch.” – Cathy Carlyle



Batch #5 14 months ago

“Memory: a child walking along a seashore. You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up and store away among its treasured things.” – Pierce Harris

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.” – Anais Nin



Batch #4 14 months ago

“You’ve changed so much. I guess that’s what happens. I wish you knew how much you changed me. I wonder if I changed you, if your life is different because of me. Because mine’s different. My God, you taught me so much, and now we don’t even talk to each other. I guess that’s what happens.” – Unknown

“Muse is about getting the hopes, dreams, desires, frustrations out of your system that you wouldn’t normally be able to do. It’s about showing people that there are things inside buried that should be exposed, and having no shame about them. We can communicate no matter the environment.” – Matt Bellamy

“In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.” – Unknown

“I try to talk to you, but I don’t know what to say. I am afraid you don’t want me to say anything. So I don’t. But inside of me there are words waiting to come out.And tell you how I feel-like how I miss you. And how I love you despite my broken heart.And how I need you in my life. And especially how much I want you.But those words may forver stay in my heart-locked inside.Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too… but I’ll never know.” – Unknown

“Love me when I least deserve it, because that’s when I really need it.” – Swedish Proverb

“In this world of change, nothing which comes stays, and nothing which goes is lost.” – Anne Sophie Swetchine

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” – Jim Morrison



Batch #3 17 months ago

“Not even earth can hold us
Not even life controls us
Not even the ground can keep us down
The memories in my head
Are just as real the time we spent
You always be close to me
My friend
This is not the end”
- The Bravery, This Is Not The End

“What’s most wonderful and most frustrating about it is that it happens in a part of your brain that is completely unsoiled by logic or reason or any other clever human cerebral trickery. Love happens in a deep, primal place that your conscious self has no power to effect, whatsoever. You cannot fight it, you cannot will it into existence, you cannot explain to it that it is making a mess of things, and it will not listen when you plead for it to stick around a little longer. So, in answer to your question, I don’t know anything about love. No one does. It’s just this incredible thing that happens to people.” – Damian Kulash Jr.

“So they take off after each other straight into an endless black prairie. The sun is just comin’ down and they can feel the night on their backs. What they don’t know is that each one of ‘em is afraid, see. Each one separately thinks that he’s the only one that’s afraid. And they keep ridin’ like that straight into the night. Not knowing. And the one who’s chasin’ doesn’t know where the other one is taking him. And the one who’s being chased doesn’t know where he’s going.” – Lee, True West



Batch #2 18 months ago

“Take it from a guy: If you’re in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You’re going to get to her somehow, some way.” – Dr Phil McGraw

“Assumptions are the termites of relationships.” – Henry Winkler



Batch #1 18 months ago

“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” – Andy Warhol

“Resolve to be a master of change rather than a victim of change.” – Brian Tracy

“The shell must break before the bird can fly.” – Tennyson

“You may be on the right track, but if you just sit there you’ll get run over.” – Paul H. Dunn

“When a man finds no peace within himself, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.” – L. A. Rouchefolicauld

“That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to take a deep breath and begin climbing again.” – Michael Johnson
