You Ruin Your Life By Desensitizing Yourself. We Are All Afraid To Say Too Much, To Feel Too Deeply, To Let People Know What They Mean To Us. Caring Is Not Synonymous With Crazy. Expressing To Someone How Special They Are To You Will Make You Vulnerable. There Is No Denying That. However, That Is Nothing To Be Ashamed Of. There Is Something Breathtakingly Beautiful In The Moments Of Smaller Magic That Occur When You Strip Down & Are Honest With Those Who Are Important To You - Bianca Sparacino

Which Can Only Be Acquired Through Life Experience, Both Good & Bad. We Have Time. Let's Sit Together After Mid-Night & Introduce Me To Your Mind.

The Great Way Is Not Difficult For Those Who Have No Preferences. When Love & Hate Are Both Absent Everything Becomes Clear & Undisguised. Make The Smallest Distinction, However, & Heaven & Earth Are Set Infinitely Apart. If You Wish To See The Truth Then Hold No Opinion For Or Against. The Struggle Of What One Likes & What One Dislikes Is The Disease Of The Mind - Sengstan

I Like The Idea Of Defying The Convention Of What It Is To Be In Your 40s, Or 50s, Or 60s - Anthony Kiedis

To All The Free Spirits, Lovers Of Life, Open Hearted, Gypsy Souls, Wildflowers, Nonconformists, Wayfarers, Those Empowered From Within, Keep Spreading The Love, This World Needs More of What You've Got - Tammy Turner

Our Lives Begin To End The Day We Become Silent About Things That Matter.

Stay Weird!

That may be the most important thing to understand about humans. It is the unknown that defines our existence. We are constantly searching, not just for answers to our questions, but for new questions. We are explorers. We explore our lives day by day, & we explore the galaxy, trying to expand the boundaries of our knowledge. And that is why I am here. Not to conquer you with weapons, or with ideas. But to coexist ... & learn - Captain Benjamin Sisko

In This Galaxy, There's A Mathematical Probability Of 3 Million Earth-Type Planets. And In All Of The Universe, 3 Million Million Galaxies Like This. And In All Of That ... & Perhaps More, Only One Of Each Of Us - Dr. Leonard Mccoy, Star Trek Balance Of Terror

To exist is to defy all that threatens you. To be a rebel is not to accumulate a library of subversive books or to dream of fantastic conspiracies or of taking to the hills. It is to make yourself your own law. To find in yourself what counts. To make sure that you’re never “cured” of your youth. To prefer to put everyone up against the wall rather than to remain supine. To pillage whatever can be converted to your law, without concern for appearance - Dominique Venner

What did you do as a child that made the hours pass like minutes? Herein lies the key to your earthly pursuits.’ When we are fully engaged in what we are doing, worries of the past & fears of the future dissipate, leaving us absorbed only in the present moment. It is in this state, that we can best channel our creative potential - Carl Jung

And these children that you spit on. As they try to change their worlds. Are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through - David Bowie

Whatever the future may have in store for us, one thing is certain - this new revolution in human thought will never go backward. Once a great truth gets abroad in the world, no power on earth can imprison it, or prescribe its limits, or suppress it. It is bound to go on till it becomes the thought of the world.
No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck. The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful & virtuous.
Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, & where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob & degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe - Frederick Douglass

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends & break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves & shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West! - Aragorn
