“Experience: the most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.” C.S Lewis.

Right now, it's a stressful ass time in my life, i've learned a lot of things and been through a lot.

Anyone else that has a quote that can somewhat describe a certain aspect about your life?

List it if you do?

Mine has always been:
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.

That's deep my man. Another one i love is "i'm sitting back staring at this world through my eyes, looking out the room that i'm hidden inside. I'm just a kid who stays speaking his thoughts talking his mind, like a roller-coaster but i stay along for the ride. "

Live your life girl.  Don't let anybody stop you or make you feel bad for making yourself happy!

Gottabe my fave quote.


"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

Awesome, and so much better in Yoda audio format.

I've always liked song lyrics for my meaningful quotes:
"If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face."

Also,
"Two years he walks the Earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the great white north. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild."
— Christopher McCandless

What good is spilling blood, it will not grow a thing - Grateful Dead

So toss away stuff you don't need in the end, but keep whats important, and know who's your friend- phish

the bus came by and I got on that's when it all began - Grateful dead


I've got a strong urge to fly, but I got nowhere to fly to - pink floyd


all I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way - since somebody quoted that song already

ah fuck just gonna stop. A good meaningful quote or some good music is so much more powerful than those fucking motivational posters.

freely translated from german

may i have power to fight what i can fight,
placidity to endure what i cant fight
and reason to distinguish both


this is it. end of question. originally it was like "god, give me...", but i dont feel like a christian, so its more like this for me.

to me, every aspect of life is captured in some way in it, if you interpret it freely enough
