"You never have sex the way people do in the movies. You don't do it on the floor, you don't do it standing up, you don't always have all your clothes off, you don't happen to have on all the sexy lingerie. You know, if anybody ever ripped my clothes, I'd kill them."

I've made my mistakes. I've had my ups and downs, my ins and outs, and definately my share of bad breaks. BUT when it's all said and done..I'll raise a glass over my head and swear to god its all been fun.

"Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect." -- Margaret Mitchell

I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. - JD Salinger

"If you're going to lie, lie for a friend. If you're going to cheat, cheat death. If you're going to steal, steal a heart."

"There are millions of people out there. But in the end, it all comes down to one. I still panic sometimes, forget to breathe...But I know.. I know there’s something beautiful.. in all my imperfections. A beauty which he held up for me to see. A strength that can never be taken away."
--Kirsten Dunst : Crazy / Beautiful

"Get into the habit of laughing; too many of us have forgotten
how to laugh. As people grow older, they sometimes forget
that they ever laughed. It is a part of their childhood
that they can no longer remember."

You see life is like that...we change, that's all. You see, the guy I am now, is not the guy I was then. If the guy I was then met the guy I am now, he'd beat the shit out of me. Those are the facts~ SLC Punk

"It's only after you've lost everything
that you're free to do anything." ~Fight Club~

"Love gives you wings. It makes you fly. I don't even call it love. I call it Geronimo. When you're in love, you'll jump right from the top of the Empire State and you won't care, screaming "Geronimo" the whole way down. I love her so bad, I just... whoa, she wrecks me. I'd die for her." ~Conspiracy Theory~

"Sex is like math..Add two people, subtract the clothes, divide the legs, and hope to God you don't multiply!"

"We all have geeky sides-and we can all be elegant and popular."

Never give up on something that you can't spend a day without thinking about..

Procrastination is like a credit card: It's a lot of fun until you get the bill.

Prevent inbreeding: Ban country music.

Do it today. Tomorrow it might be illegal.

Been there, done that. Got a t-shirt.

I'll rise but I won't shine.

I was normal once, I didn't like it.

If people were meant to pop out of bed, we'd all sleep in toasters.

I can only please one person a day and today ain't your day. (Tomorrow ain't looking good either).

During tests I look up for inspiration, down in desperation, and side to side for information.

I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

Sometimes it hurts more then we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank.

They say we all lose 21 grams at the exact moment of our death... everyone. The weight of a stack of nickels. The weight of a chocolate bar. The weight of a hummingbird...

Growing up sucks..And not all kisses are magic and most boys do not live up to your expectations. But there are those times when everything, I mean love, romance, relationships.. It all falls together perfectly, and it's incredible..It's those moments, no matter how depressingly or few and far between they are that make growing up worth it, and it'll be okay.-Dawsons creek

"Can't get enough nuts? Grab a Snickers." ~ S commercial

As you may know, I spent the last three months in Africa. A
wondrous, magical place. But as shadows lengthen across the KHBR
window, thoughts turn to homecoming. Journey's end. Because in a
sense, it's the coming back, the return which gives meaning to the going
forth. We really don't know where we've been until we've come back to
where we were. Only, where we were may not be as it was because of
who we've become. Which is, after all, why we left.

-- Bernard (3.21)

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.

"I think God appreciates it even more. 'Cause he created you in His image -- at least that's what I was always taught -- and since God is love and God doesn't make mistakes then you must be exactly the way He wants you to be, the way He intended you to be. And that goes for every person, every planet, every mountain, every grain of sand, every song, every tear, and every faggot. We're all His Emmett, and He loves us all."

I've learned that you can't make someone love you. All you can do is stalk her and hope that she panics and gives in.

If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself....If you are accompanied by even one companion you belong only half to yourself, or even less, in proportion to the thoughtlessness of his conduct; and if you have more than one companion you will fall more deeply into the same plight

"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are
not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the
weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less
prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs
that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are
measured by these." -Susan B. Anthony

Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our
courage and strength.

I'm often disturbed by the notion of the so-called glass ceiling, but you know, glass can be broken. I've never liked hearing people say, "You can't do this" or "You can't do that." The point, though, is not to just say [you can do it]. It's important to be prepared to act and sacrifice; to accept that if this is what you want, just wishing it would happen is not enough. You've got to follow through and take the necessary steps to make it happen.
~~ Reginald F. Lewis (1942-1993), legendary Wall Street financier who completed the landmark $985 million acquisition of Beatrice International Foods in 1987. TLC Beatrice International remains the only black owned company to break the billion-dollar mark in annual revenues peaking at $2.2 billion in 1996.

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. -Alfred D. Souza

Expecting life to treat you well because you are a good person is like expecting an angry bull not to charge at you because you are a vegetarian. -Shari R.Barr
