From Captain Corelli's Mandolin:

"You know I am not a religious man, but I believe this: if there is a wound, we must try to heal it. If there is someone whose pain we can cure, we must search till we find them. If the gods have chosen that we should survive, it will be for a reason."

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."


Blow/George Jung:
"So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door."


Pay It Forward:
"The world is a shithole, pardon my French an' shit."

"I guess it's hard for people who are so used to things the way they are - even if they're bad - to change. 'Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses."

"Do me a favour... save my life."

Jerry: You ever been on the street?
Arley: My mom took us pretty close.
Jerry: Well, you can't know. Not until you look at a dumpster. But when you climb into that thing for the first time and you pull those newspapers over you, that's when you know you've messed your life up. Somebody comes along like your son, and gives me a leg up, I'll take it. Even from a kid, I'll take it.

Sorry, I got carried away, haha!

Ooh I LOVE quotes
Here are some from books by author John Green.

"What's the point in being alive if you don't at lest try to do something remarkable?" (Abundance of Katherines)

"It's a paper town Q. I mean look at it Q; look at all those cul-de-sacs, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them from a paper convenience store. everyone demented with the mania of owning things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never once come across anyone who cares about anything that matters." Margo from Paper Towns.

"You spend your whole life stuck in a labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present." Looking for Alaska. - So true of me.

Music that paints nothing is only noise.

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world. I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. thousands maybe." - Neil Garman. (I always think about that one on a train/bus and try and guess the person's who sits opposite me, what they would imagine themselves as or dream of being. Gets me strange looks but passes the time.)

Love it^^^^ Espically the first.

THE GOD DELUSION

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the mosts unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

... sounds like Naomi.

Who is Naomi?

Ahahahaha, only Melissa will get it. A long story...

*Snorts* Naomi.

Hm...I want to know that story now lol

Oh it's just this girl... that, uhh... well... no. I just don't like her. For very valid reasons.

No no, it's not a "girl" at all. 'She' is more of an 'it' who looks like she's been smacked in the face with a frying pan on a numerous amount of times. Okay, maybe that was a bit harsh... But she is a bitch.

All right xD I think I got it.
I still like this quote though

I do have a good reason for saying all that, I'm not just being nasty xD

I'm sure you do Don't worry about that.

Well Melissa... I couldn't have put that better, seriously. I think 'it' is bipolar, god I hate her. She makes me angry just by thinking about her. STOP THINKING SARAH, it shouldn't be too hard, you don't do it much...
