Old quotes i found in my closet.

I opened a random box in my closet back in my parent's house. I couldn't believe what I had found. I found old scrapbooks, yearbooks, and random notebooks -- I had been missing these for years.

Among all these treasures, there was a compact purple notebook labeled "Dream: Believe in your heart that something wonderful is about to happen." Inside were a small collection of quotes and excerpts from books I had collected when I was a teen.

Here are a couple that inspires and impacts me even until this day:

"The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." - Allan K. Chalmers

"Gravity is not responsible for people falling in love." -Albert Einstein

"Reason transformed into prejudice is the worst form of prejudice because reason is the only instrument for liberation from prejudice." -Allan Bloom

"Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." -Ambrose Redmoon

"The tragedy of life is not death but in what dies inside a person while he or she lives -- the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the death of awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other people in oneself." -Norman Couisins

"Don't say you love me unless you really mean it because I might do something crazy like believe it!" - Anonymous

"It wasn't necessarily the things you said that made me walk away. I think it was just too many things you didn't say. It wasn't the things you did that made me question you and ask why. It was all those things you never did that made me cry. I believe that your intentions were never to hurt me. But by what you're lacking, you deserted me. I'll jusgt sit and waste away, until the day that you come back saying you've changed." - have no clue where I got this one from

"What the hell is this?"
"Its a peace symbol, sir."
"What does your helmet say?"
"Born to kill, sir."
"What the hell is going on?"
"I guess I was just trying to point out the duality of mankind, sir." -Full Metal Jacket

"If a woman conceals her affection with the same skill from the object of it she may lose the opportunity of fixing him... There is so much of gratitude and vanity in almost every attachment that it is not safe to leave any to itself. We can all begin freely -- a slight preference is natural enough; but there are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement." -Pride and Prejudice

"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time." -Fight Club
