So we might have billions of absolute truths. Then again, you might not exist, so I am back to two. How about, "The only absolute truths are that I exist and there are no other absolute truths". This is getting out of hand, it is starting to sound like the 2nd commandment (or is it the first?); anyway it's one of them I haven't broken (yet).
I am going to stop here before I make an absolute fool of myself. Replying to 5 year old posts is dangerous stuff.

because I strongly believe that everything that happens to us has a reason... I do not believe in coincidence... :)
"Life is too important to be taken seriously"
"If you would lift me, you must be on higher ground"--Emerson
"He that pryeth into every cloud may be struck with a thunderbolt"--John Clarke
Here r quotes for Helen Keller , a person who was able to make us struggle hard for life..& know that , its sometimes by losing that we find ourselves.
I admire her greatly.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
My favourite quote is:
"Always forgive your enemies:nothing annoys them so much"--Oscar Wilde:D
"To love ones self is the beginning of a lifelong romance"~Oscar Wilde
(Two in a row for the genius!)
''If you want to be loved, be lovable.
''When love is not madness, it is not love.
We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel!!
God made relatives, Thanks God we can choose our friends ;)
dont know who said that, If anyone knows let me know too :)

I know qoutes are an important part of literature because they represent the bigger picture of the work. What is your favorite qoute? Mine is of course T.s.Eliots "Go,go said the bird,Human kind cannot bear very much reality". Yet Wilhem Meisters quote from goethe is equally beautiful. "all mens failings i forgive in actors,but no actors failings will i forgive in men"
