"The definition of success--To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded."

I've always really liked this quote!

[I'm DC]

"Try to overcome your doubt. Believe you are beautiful. Look at yourself through someone else's green eyes. Believe someone out there will find you and kiss your skin until you can feel it blister with the heat. Believe in something bigger than your problems and you will be saved. Look up at the beautiful melon sky; It will answer all your questions. It will unite us against the machine. My best friend taught me that the best way to battle the machine is to ignore it. Ignore the obnoxious hipsters. Ignore those who will put you in a box because of what country you were spat out of. Ignore the judgmental indie rockers. Ignore the trench coat mafia. Ignore the right wing fanatics. Ignore anyone who rubs you the wrong way. Ignore me if you need to, but don't ignore love. It's what I am fighting for." - Max Bemis

It's hard to pick a favourite quotation, but these are two I really like:

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."

"Because if we happened, just happened to discover, or even suspect, that our spontaneity was part of their order, we'd know that we were lost."

--Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (Tom Stoppard)

[Poe-tryGirl]

My User Title is an awesome quote by Anton Chekhov.

[kelseybaby]

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened,"
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”

They're all from Seuss and I love them all dearly.

"It's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done." - Billie Joe Armstrong

I'm sure Billy Joe Armstrong wasn't the first person to say that, you can't really attribute that quote to him



"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."

"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." Albert Einstein

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

"In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn't fall in your lap; it falls somewhere nearby, and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put in the time and work it takes to get to it. This isn't because the universe is cruel. It's because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and knows we don't appreciate things that fall into our laps."

"A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved." -Kurt Vonnegut

"I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of "work" because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. Being born is like being kidnapped.

"Back to music. It makes practically everybody fonder of life than he or she would be without it." - Kurt Vonnegut

Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."
--Shakespeare

[BryterJonah]

“After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.” - Richard Dawkins
"If a man does not keep pace with his companion perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." - Henry David Thoreau

Favorite quote forever & always. I live by it.

[Skadrist]

"The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them."- Mark Twain



"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never tasted victory or defeat.”-- Theodore Roosevelt



"Tojo had me cooped up in a bamboo rat cage. There was nothing to eat except rats. So that's what I ate. After two weeks I was down to my last rat. I let him live so I could eat his droppings. Called it "Jungle Rice." Tasted fine. About September, I was finally thin enough to slip between the bamboo bars. I strangled the guard with a rope made of grated rat-tails, and ran to safety."- Cotton Hill

"Ojala esto nos vaya bien. Con esto que tenemos los mexicanos que es natural, que no te tiene que dar un técnico o nadie. El salir todo los días a la calle a rompernos la madre."- Javier "El vasco" Aguirre

"You only get one life. There's no God, no rules, no judgments, except those you accept or create for yourself. And once it's over.. it's over. Dreamless sleep forever and ever. So why not be happy while you're here?"

[ninetyFhOURs]

I love this quote- I'm a huge WCW fan. Can't go wrong with Walt either, though. Nice quotes.

Williams is THE American poet, in my eyes. No one has, or can, emmulate his style. Glad to see someone else's enjoys his stuff. And also refers to him as WCW.....the irony is almost too much. ha

And Whitman is probably the first real voice of America. If his poetry is somewhat outdated, his importance is untouchable. When read in context of the time, Whitman never grows old

[tottivillarossi]

“Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.” - Oscar Wilde

[TachyonEvan]

"Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish — a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow — to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested...

Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll."

"The definition of success--To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one's self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--this is to have succeeded."
-Emerson
"Randomness is the key to everything!"

[ericwrightt]

The definition of success you have given above is 100% right. Success means different things to different people. For me success is money.

"There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die."

[luckykaruba]

Actually, I love the whole letter.


Maggie, I believe in you – I know you never meant to deceive me – I know you tried to keep faith to me, and to all. I believed this before I had any other evidence of it than your own nature. The night after I last parted from you I suffered torments. I had seen what convinced me that you were not free, that there was another whose presence had a power over you which mine never possessed; but through all the suggestions – almost murderous suggestions – of rage and jealously, my mind made its way to belief in your truthfulness. I was sure that you meant to cleave to me, as you had said; that you had rejected him; that you struggled to renounce him, for Lucy’s sake and for mine. But I could see no issue that was not fatal for you; and that dread shut out the very thought of resignation. I foresaw that he would not relinquish you, and I believed then, as I believe now, that the strong attraction which drew you together proceeded only from one side of your characters and belonged to that partial, divided action of our nature which makes half the tragedy of the human lot. I have felt the vibration of chords in your nature that I have continually felt the want of in his. But perhaps I am wrong; perhaps I feel about you as the artist does about the scene over which his soul has brooded with love; he would tremble to see it confided to other hands; he would never believe that it could bear for another all the meaning and the beauty it bears for him.
I dared not trust myself to see you that morning; I was filled with selfish passion; I was shattered by a night of conscious delirium. I told you long ago that I had never been resigned even to the mediocrity of my powers; how could I be resigned to the loss of the one thing which had ever come to me on earth, with the promise of such deep joy as would give a new and blessed meaning to the foregoing pain – the promise of another self that would lift my aching affection into the divine rapture of an ever-springing, ever-satisfied want?
But the miseries of that night had prepared me for what came before the next. It was no surprise to me. I was certain that he had prevailed on you to sacrifice everything to him, and I waited with equal certainty to hear of your marriage. I measured your love and his by my own. But I was wrong, Maggie. There was something stronger in you than your love for him.
I will not tell you what I went through in that interval. But even in its utmost agony – even in those terrible those that love must suffer before it can be disembodied of selfish desire – my love for you sufficed to withhold me from suicide, without the aid of any other motive. In the midst of my egotism, I yet could not bear to come like a death-shadow across the feast of your joy. I could not bear to forsake the world in which you still lived and might need me; it was part of the faith I had vowed to you – to wait and endure. Maggie, that is a proof of what I write now you assure you of – that no anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you. I want you to put aside all grief because of the grief you have caused me. I was nurtured in the sense of privation; I never expected happiness; and in knowing you, in loving you, I have had, and still have, what reconciles me to life. You have been to my affections what light, what colour is to my eyes – what music is to the inward ear; you have raised a dim unrest into a vivid consciousness. The new life I have found in caring for your joy and sorrow more than for what is directly my own has transformed the spirit of rebellious murmuring into that willing endurance which is the birth of strong sympathy. I think nothing but such complete and intense love could have initiated me into that enlarged life which grows and grows by appropriating the life of others; for before, I was always dragged back from it by ever-present painful self-consciousness. I even think sometimes that this gift of transferred life which has come to me in loving you, may be a new power to me.
Then, dear one, in spite of all, you have been the blessing of my life. Let no self-reproach weigh on you because of me. It is I who should rather reproach myself for having urged my feelings up on you and hurried you into words that you have felt as fetters. You meant to be true to those word; you have been true. I can measure your sacrifice by what I have known in only one half-hour of your presence with me when I dreamed that you might love me best. But, Maggie, I have no just claim on you for more than affectionate remembrance.
For some time I have shrunk from writing to you, because I have shrunk even from the appearance of wishing to thrust myself before you and so repeating my original error. But you will not misconstrue me. I know that we must keep apart for a long while; cruel tongues would force us apart, if nothing else did. But I shall not go away. The place where you are is the one where my mind must live, wherever I might travel. And remember that I am unchangeably yours; yours – not with selfish wishes, but with a devotion that excludes such wishes.
God comfort you, my loving, large-souled Maggie. If everyone else has misconceived you, remember that you have never been doubted by him whose heart recognized you ten years ago.
Do not believe anyone who says I am ill, because I am not seen out of doors. I have only had nervous headaches – no worse than I have sometimes had them before. But the overpowering heat inclines me to be perfectly quiescent in the day-time. I am strong enough to obey any word which shall tell me that I can serve you by word or deed.
Yours, to the last,
Philip Wakem
