10 Of The Most Beautiful Literary Quotes
Wise Greek

Literature is one of the greatest gifts given to us. The ability to sit down with a good book, and get lost in another world never fails to entertain me. When things get rough in real life, or you've never been happier there seems to always be an amazing quote to explain the moment you're in. In fact, I believe that not enough people, especially in my generation, have given the world a literature a try. Below are some of the most beautiful literary quotes.

1. "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."

2. “It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.”

3. "It's much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it."

4. "You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget."

5. "And meanwhile time goes about its immemorial work of making everyone look and feel like shit."

6. "No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true."


7. "Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing."

8. "No one forgets the truth; they just get better at lying."

9. "We need never be ashamed of our tears."

10. "It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like, so long as somebody loves you."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
