    Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. ~ Maya Angelou

    Who is there that knows me, that would not trust me—that does not? Ask anybody whether they have ever doubted me; whether I have ever wronged them of a farthing. ~ From Charles Dickens' The Old Curiosity Shop

    It's my favorite quote because it reminds me of how much I trust my three best friends!

    P.S: A late B-Day wish to my favorite novelist! Happy 200th Birthday!!! =)

    I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed this, but first impressions are often entirely wrong. You can look at a painting for the first time, for example, and not like it at all, but after looking at it a little longer you may find it very pleasing. The first time you try Gorgonzola cheese you may find it too strong, but when you are older you may want to eat nothing but Gorgonzola cheese. ~ Lemony Snicket


    P.S: Guys and gals: Don't sleep on children's literature!
    For the love of God, will someone PLEASE tell my friends how wonderful a book Peter Pan is?!

    Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at all. ~

    All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope. ~ Winston Churchill

    Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it. ~ John Lennon

    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

    Those who will believe or disbelieve what they can fully comprehend must have very little knowledge and a lot of wisdom to commit biological suicide. ~ C A Cafolini

    People who consider themselves original are a dishonor to their teachers, be them parents or otherwise, or even nature. And others who agree with them are utterly naive or liars. ~ C A Cafolini
