Those sound more like quotes. I have some here that are touching too.- you can't change the past but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.- people are going to hate you, love you, love to hate you, hate to love you.. but the ones that mean the most will always be there.- Isn't it ironic how the one person you wish you could forget is the only person you can't get out of your head.- "If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us." - Herman Hesse.- do you ever wonder what would have happened if you took the left turn instead of the right? * [personal favorite]- sometimes the two people that are meant to be are the last to realize it.- Love is like rumors, everyone hears about it, but you only believe it until you see it for yourself.Mhmm, those witty sayings are what keeps me thinking about stuff and how I should respond to things. Hmm til now I realize these actually can change you a little... lol. =)

This one's a quote by Mr. Wilkins Micawber, from David Copperfield by Charles Dickens:

Procrastination is the thief of time. Collar him!

I know, I know, it's nothing quite spectacular but it's one of the things that rescued me when I was at the lowest point of my life

Oh, and another one from The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery:

What a queer planet!

No, it didn't change my life but go figure

Well, there are a lot. The last one I can remember of is from ARistotle. He says in his "Politics" something like this: "The biggest crimes are not committed in order to cover basic necesities, but to obtain futile things". I don't know what the right translation in English would be, but my point is set, i guess.

* The most expensive piece of real estate is the six inches between your right and left ear. It’s what you create in that area that determines your wealth. We are only really limited by our mind.

Here's one you should all recognize, I hope.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear...

I wanted it to change my life but it was not efficacious until I came across something someone said here on Xisto,

Embrace the fear.

Between them they did change my life.

"Soma is life" - from Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Soma is a fictional drug described in the book as "All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects. " At the time, really opened my eyes to how conditioned and apathetic people become to the conditions and situations around them, unwilling to change anything simply because it is too inconvenient and doesn't fit into their little bubble.Regards,z.
