Hello all! I've been abundantly blessed by my virtual coffee chats with so many of you in this wonderful forum on Books and Literature! (The Relationship forum is fun too, but this is where inspiration comes from... "the stuff dreams are made of" )
Anyways... We all have favorite quotes, quotes that have touched a chord in our hearts and minds, quotes that have influenced our decisions, inspired us to go that extra mile, give us courage to face the day, and shown us what real living is like.
Lets share these divine inspirations with our little world here - on this little posting. I'll start with one of my all-time favorites....
Being a star-gazer myself and being the proud owner of a tempestuous personal history, this is one of my favorites - it reminds me that no matter what is swirling around me at a given time, I can get through it.
"The most tempestuous wind cannot disturb the quiet of the stars."

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."
-- Philip K.
Some people know better, and they still make the mistake. That's when ignorance becomes stupidity."
-- Aaron McBride
Surprises are things that you not only didn't know, but that contradict things you thought you knew. And so they're the most valuable sort of fact you can get. They're like a food that's not merely healthy, but counteracts the unhealthy effects of things you've already eaten."
-- Paul Graham
So many times I found myself on the receiving end of unkind treatment, or on the giving end of the same, that there is not often a space in which I can find peace to escape from this woman I have become. I want so much to not know the things I've known, to not feel the things I've felt, to not have hurt the ones I've hurt."
Make changes based on your strongest opportunities, not your most convenient ones."
-- MegaTokyo
Because you have always been so kind to me, and I won't be seeing you again since I'm killing myself once we reach the honeymoon suite. ~ The Princess Bride
The quotes I share tonight, I have experienced in a very short and sad period of time. The sun will rise tomorrow regardless of my pain and me remind me it's a new day. A day to stop forgiving, stop remembering, stop being the fool, and stop being the joke. Tomorrown sun will dry the tears of tonight, but tonight they flow freely, just as they were meant to do all along......
The Eagle has the longest life span of its species.
It can live up to 70 years.
But to reach this age the Eagle must make a hard decision.
In it’s 40’s its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food. It’s long and sharp beak becomes bent. It’s old aged and heavy wings , due to their thick feathers , become stuck to its chest and make it difficult to fly.
The Eagle is left with 2 options , DIE or go through a painful process of change which lasts 150 days.
The process requires the Eagle to fly to a mountain top and sit on its nest.
There the Eagle knocks its bent beak against a rock until it plucks it out. After plucking it out the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out its withered talons. When its new talons grow back the Eagle starts plucking its old aged feathers out.
After 5 months the Eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and LIVES for 30 more years.
Why is change needed?
Many times in order to survive we have to start a change process.
We sometimes need to get rid of old memories , habits , and other past traditions.
Only freed from past burdens can we take advantage of the present.

Though this is a myth I think the philosophy is good.
Ok, I've been quoting a quote all night... and can't remember the whole thing. I did a quick search on here (i thought lifehappened put it on here...) but I couldn't find it...
HELP!
Its about "you" being the hole that I walk around all day and fall into at night...
What is it???? Rather than google it, I'd rather ask all y'all!
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. I miss you like hell. ~Edna St. Vincent Millay
Its not a quote, but I've been singing this song as of late....
Stand
Rascal Flatts
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright
[Chorus:]
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
[Repeat Chorus]
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
