13 Quotations For The Month Of Rememberance
wsllpaper

As part of the Catholic tradition, November is the month of remembrance. Throughout November, we remember and pray for those who have passed away, especially our loved ones. The month begins with All Saints Day and All Souls Day on November 1st and 2nd, respectively. I have always found quotations to be a way of encapsulating emotions and truths I know, but cannot articulate myself. As Gus says in "The Fault in Our Stars," “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.” This quotation is one of my favorites because it does a perfect job expressing what cannot be expressed. In honor of the month of remembrance, here are 13 quotations that convey remembrance; they may serve as constellation builders or just simply resonate.

1. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." -Thomas Campbell

2. "Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality." -Emily Dickinson

3. "Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven / Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

4. "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." -Anonymous

5. "After you are gone, people may forget most of what you have said and done. But they will remember that you loved them." -Steve Goodier

6. "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." -Anonymous

7. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr. Suess

8. "It is the capacity to feel consuming grief and pain and despair that also allows me to embrace love and joy and beauty with my whole heart. I must let it all in." -Anna White

9. "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

10. "Death— last sleep? No, it is the final awakening." -Walter Scott

11. "For death is no more than a turning over of us from time to eternity." -William Penn


12. "They say that a part of you dies when a special Loved One passes away...I disagree...I say a part of you lives with your Loved One on the other side." -Daniel Yanez

13. "In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on." -Robert Frost

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
