My favourite quote, that represents me right now is a somehow sad one, that i created some time ago - "To survive i need music and love, and i have plenty of music..."

"Life's too damn short for ifs and maybes." It's a quote from an episode of Firefly (written by Joss Whedon), and Mal (the captain) says it to Inara. They're both in love with each other, but neither one will admit it. Without that quote, I probably wouldn't have taken the chance and started dating the man who is now my fiance. I was convinced that there was no way that things could work out long term, so I was afraid that we would date for a couple of months and then break up. I didn't want to hurt him like that, so I resisted. But I finally decided that we might as well give it a shot, and he agreed. That was well over a year ago. :)

Hello there. There's this saying that I like. It goes 'We are born with 2 eyes in front so that we will not always look behind us but see what lies ahead beyond ourselves' It teaches us to look forward =D

A really cute quote that I saw around places is "Never take life seriously, nobody gets out alive!" I had to think about this one for a minutes... LOL, just went to a website that had some of these...this one is pretty funny..."When I die, I want to go peacefully like my grandfather in his sleep - not screaming, like the passengers in his car"... And my favorite from Homer Simpson "Son, if you really want something in life, you have to work for it...Now quiet they're about to announce the lottery numbers!"

My favorite quote is from YODA of The Empire Strikes Back - "do or do not, there is no try". it may sound black and white but i think it represents only two things -its either you do it or not. If you do it- doit with no hesitations, no regrets whatsoever about the outcome. If you cant do it well don't. each of us is aware of our own limitations. no gray areas..

I always feel like I can whenever I see the quote" Sky is the limit-reach out" I have got it printed and its right there in front of me behind my PC and I always feel I can reach out and actually touch the sky. I feel like a free bird whenever I read it. It always makes me feel that I can achieve anything once I set my heart to it.

I have two. One Joseph Campbell said," Follow Your Bliss". And the second is from the movie Road House. " Be nice, until it is time not to be nice."
