Because this is what happens when you try to run from the past. It doesn't just catch up: it overtakes, blotting out the future, the landscape, the very sky, until there is no path left except that which leads through it, the only one that can ever get you home. - Sarah Dessen, Just Listen
"I think you guys might be confusing tyranny with losing. And I feel for you, because I've been there. A few times, in fact, one of them was a bit of a nail biter. But see, when the guy you disagree with gets elected, he's probably gonna do things you disagree with. He could cut taxes on the wealthy, remove the government's oversight capability, invade a country that you thought should not be invaded...but that's not tyranny, that's democracy. See now you're in the minority. It's supposed to taste like a shit taco. And by the way, if I remember correctly, when disagreement was expressed over that president's actions when y'all were in power I believe the response was why do you hate America, watch what you say, love it or leave it, suck on my truck nuts." - John Stewart
"Every song has a CODA, a final movement. Whether it fades out or crashes away. Every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music? - One Tree Hill
“There is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these lovable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really, want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.” - Chuck Klosterman, Killing Yourself to Live
