Very funny, but after moving I gathered all my writings and etc into two boxes (which I needed two for there were a lot) and bought them to my apartment. In the mist of this I found a sheet of paper with 7 random quotes on it. It was dated 1/25/2009/ Great timing for this entry. I'll pick my 5 favorites:
1) "Secrets are made to be found out by time." - Charles Sanford
It's such a true oxymoron. All secrets in a way, will be found out. It could be days, months, or even generations later. Time has a way of eroding the tongue of secrets.
2) "Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it." - Harry Emerson
One of the best ways to put it. Bitterness is the prison bars, while love is the key to release life. I just love it.
3) "The one who loves you will make you weep." - Argentine Proverb
I just love how you can look at this two ways due to the word "weep" they use. It can be of joy or sorrow. Hell, perhaps both.
4) "There would be no passion in this world if we never had to fight for what we love." - Susie Switzer
I just love how this is worded. Passion and love can be put on anything. Power, a person, an idea, and etc. This is a fun quote to maul over.
5) "There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that less than the one you are capable of living." - Nelson Mandela
Firstly, I just love the way he states the old saying, "Don't settle in life." It's so poetic sounding. I've always tried to not settle, though it is tempting, but this is so motivating too.
The secrets one is so true. I remember one time I actually googled: "I cheated on my boyfriend, what should I do?" and the top answer was that you need to tell him because no matter what, someday, he's going to find out, and you don't want to be married with a kid when he figures it out. It's true, even if I ignored the advice. Also why I try to keep few secrets.
ReplyDeleteThe third one makes me think of a line from a Bryan Adams song "Your lonely nights, have just begun, when you love someone."
Also trying my best not to settle. We still need to travel together so we can figure our lives out <3
My favorite is the fourth one :)
