I have never been really big on quotes -- at least, not the type of quotes you see on Pinterest all the time that are super cheesy like, "You can't have a rainbow without a little rain." While it is a very true quote, it just strikes me as something you'd tell a small child, not an adult. I understand that not all people feel that way, but like I said earlier, I've never been really big on quotes. Because I am not a very big quote person, when I find one that I like, it isn't one that I forget easily.

These are the five quotes that have stuck out to me and remained my favorite quotes for quite some time now.

1. "If you think about human nature, our favorite pair of shoes are the ones we bought yesterday, our favorite thing is the newest thing that we have and the thing we've seen the most and for the longest period of time is our reflection in the mirror, so obviously, that's going to be our least favorite thing." -Taylor Swift

This is one of my favorite quotes because it has a lot of truth to it and it stuck out to me because I had not thought about it in the way that it is presented.

2. “When I was a little girl, I used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh and he has perfect hair.” -Taylor Swift

This is one of my favorite quotes for obvious reasons. I was that little girl who was obsessed with fairy tales and happy endings (I still am) but the truth to this has also made it one of my favorites.

3. "I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe / There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me." -John Mayer from "Edge of Desire"

This is from his song called "Edge of Desire," and it is one of my favorite quotes just because it shows how much he loves this person by saying he'll change what he believes in if it means that he can have her, and that is really romantic to me.

4. "My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating / We'll bleed the same way" - Matty Healy from The 1975

I'm really obsessed with this band and this quote has always been one of my favorites. This is from the song "Pressure" by The 1975.

5. "Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant, or insecure, remember to whom you belong." - Ephesians 2:19-22

This is a pretty self explanatory verse, but it's one that is very important to me.

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.
