QUOTE (PASSAGE/PROVERB/TITLE/VERSE)
"A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?" by Albert Einstein
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." by Edgar Allen Poe
"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." by Mahatma Ghandi
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.” by James Joyce
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." by Lews Carroll (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)
"Carpe Diem" and/or "Seize the Day" by Unknown
"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once." by William Shakespeare
"Death lies on her, like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field" by William Shakespeare
"Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.” by Richard Bach
"Have the courage to live. Anyone can die." by Robert Cody
"I Have A Dream" by Martin Luther King Jr.
“I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.” by Alfred Lord Tennyson (In Memoriam A.H.H.)
"It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M
“Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything's different.” by Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes)
"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow." by Albert Einstein
"Like a boss." by Lonely Island (and the Internets)
"Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless" by Jamie Paolinetti
"Live and let live" by Unknown
“Love is patient; love is kind And envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; Never selfish, not quick to take offense. There is nothing love cannot face; There is no limit to its faith, Its hope, and endurance. In a word, there are three things That last forever: faith, hope, and love; But the greatest of them all is love.” from Corinthians, The Bible
"March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb." by Unknown
"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself" by Harvey S. Firestone
“Tears are words the heart can't express” by Unknown
"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you." by Jim Morrison
"The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident." by Sir Hugh Walpole
"The only difference between saints and sinners, is that every saint has a past while every sinner has a future" by Oscar Wilde
“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only intangibles, ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.” by Chuck Palahniuk
“There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.” by Jonas Salk
"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Time is making fools of us again." by J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
“What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.” by Eleanor Powell
“Yesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream.” by Kahlil Gibran
"You can't always get what you want. But if you try, sometimes, you just might find you get what you need" by The Rolling Stones (You Can't Always Get What You Want)

"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you." by Jim Morrison

It is a sort of Divine accident." by Sir Hugh Walpole

“There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.” by Jonas Salk
