This is one of mine: "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened", it's been said Dr. Seuss said it but if he did, he definitely wasn't the first to say it so I can't leave who said it.

"I believe that the true definition of a rock band is to upset people and that’s the reason rock became rock in the late 50’s, because the country was pretty right-wing. So when rock came out—being left-wing—that upset people. I will admit to being slightly right-wing. I consider myself to be a conscientious conservative. I am pro-police, pro-government, and pro-parent. Because the country has shifted so far to the left that even if you are mid-wing, still you are upsetting people. So, all these trendoid rock bands are just preaching to the choir. I have, in the past, gone out of my way to upset people and fortunately it worked." - Peter Steele

 

[Jessi]

I'm partial towards the one in my signature. As simple as it is, it's oddly inspiring. It pops in my head sometimes when I feel discouraged. Never would have expected to be emotionally affected by a Bug Off, thanks Tad!

"You see something happen to a population whereby everyone adopts something that’s just preposterous in a way that makes it normal instantly. If any one person prior to the rash of puka shells, for example, was seen wearing puka shells, he would look like an idiot. But when everyone is wearing them, it instantly makes them normal." - Steve Albini

“Can I do better than this? I don’t know, but I’m trying, and I’ll keep trying.” From the game "Everything".

I wish I could insert everything Alan Watts says in the game but the page would be a mile long. :>

My favourite one is "Draw a monster. Why is it a monster?" It really highlights how different one's perspective can be from other's and how so many things are so subjective to our individual experiences.

[Ghost Of Mascevanje]

"If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery–isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is." - Charles Bukowski

I just learned this quote a few days ago, don't know who wrote it though:

"The axe forgets but the tree remembers"

this has been stuck in my head nonstop and it's honestly messing me up, because it's so true.
