    Mine is: "Not all those who wander are lost." - JRR Tolkien Just because I love Lord of the Rings and whenever I go through a bad time it just makes me think maybe I've wandered a bit from my path in life, but that doesn't mean I'm lost. It merely means that I'm taking a detour and things can get better; I can find the path again. Or I could be over analyzing. xD Full Quote: “All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.”

    Off the top of my head, without much thought -"Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry" -"We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect."

And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do , I have to catch everybody if they start going over the cliff - I mean if there running and they don't look where they're going. I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all" ~ Holden Caulfield page 173.

He was speaking in the context of trying to pull America out of the Great Depression, but I think it's got near universal applicability.

    "I don’t care what your excuse is, I don’t care what you think God told you to do, if you are in the business of closing children’s minds and obliterating their capacity to imagine, and depriving them of a capacity to laugh, then you are a criminal. Maybe not under the law, but under any decent system of morality." - Michael Grant Also, a close second: "We have defied the day as it was set out for us." - David Levithan, Every Day (Am I miscontextualizing that? I don't think so, but it's always possible.)

    I have many favourite quotes theres "I brought a knife to this gun fight, but the other day I mugged a mountain, so bring that shit, I've got practice." -The crickets have arthritis or "I don't often believe in Angels, but on the day I left Louis pulled a feather out of his pillow and said "this is for you". I half expected him to say "this is the first one I grew"" - the crickets have arthritis or "You offered me "You can't just do whatever." And I knew what you meant. You meant that whatever I choose to do, I must not be aimless. I must not simply spin this globe and go wherever I stick my finger, because 71% of the time I will end up in the ocean. And if I do end up in the ocean I can't just do whatever, better learn how to swim." -heaven or whatever and of course "If you can't see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror, look a little harder, stare a little longer! Because there's something inside of you that made you keep trying, despite everyone who told you to quit. You built a cast around your broken heart and you signed it, you signed it "they were wrong!"" - to this day and more all from the amazing Shane Koyczan

And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”, “A person's a person, no matter how small.”, and " We are all a little weird and life's a little weird and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love.", all of which are by Dr Seuss.

    +robert walsh I like this quote too - it, along with the bit that precedes it (something like "Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thy friend's, or of thine own were: every man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind."), seems like an attitude to strive for.

    “When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.” and also “Sometimes you lose a battle. But mischief always wins the war”
