Sometimes it is difficult to express what you feel. I often struggle with putting my feelings into words, and I also love quotes. Quotes are a great way to express yourself, and they allow people to continually recognize the great minds that created them. With that being said, below are some of my favorite quotes, along with a few of my friends' favorites. I look to these whenever I am lost, and they always remind me of who I am, what my goals are, and how beautiful life can be.
To thine own self be true, and it must follow,
as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

“In my opinon, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.”
Diablo Cody (Screenwritter of "Juno")

And strut upon my stem,
Disdaining men and oxygen,
For arrogance of them."
