Just the other night, as I was scrolling through my phone out of complete boredom, I stumbled upon a catalog of quotes that I used to keep and update (religiously) whenever I found something that really spoke to me - well-known or not.

So without much ado, these are 10 of my personal favorites from that catalog that I haven't yet seen surfacing on the mainstream Internet:

1. "Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against sacrifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality." - James Joyce

2. "Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost." - Khalil Gibran

3. "We have to be militants for kindness, subversive for sweetness and radicals for tenderness." - Cornel West

4. "Panic is the sudden realization that everything around you is alive." - William S. Burroughs

5. "I believe that we are arks of the covenant and our true nature is not rage or deceit or terror or logic or craft or even sorrow. It is longing." - Cormac McCarthy

6. "On your face there is something like the promise of a storm: one day passion will burn it to the bone." - Jean-Paul Sartre

7. "We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine." - Eduardo Galeano

8. "The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed." - Cassandra Clare

9. "Human life is a combination of tragedy and comedy. The shapes and designs that surround us are the music accompanying this tragedy and this comedy." - Alvar Aalto

10. "Life will punch you in the face, hard, wait for you to get back up so it can kick you in the stomach, but getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they love the taste of air." - Sarah Kay

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
