.."I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat." -Rebecca West"The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep." -Robert Frost"Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions and merely illusions. Rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong, wait and see! Cause some day we'll find it. The rainbow connection: the lovers, the dreamers and me." -Kermit the Frog"O let the solid ground Not fail beneath my feet Before my life has found What some have found so sweet; Then let come what come may, What matter if I go mad, I shall have had my day.Let the sweet heavens endure, Nor close and darken above me, Before I am quite sure That there is one to love me; Then let come what come may To a life that has been so sad, I shall have had my day." -Alfred, Lord Tennyson"Time is a slow sword that can pierce any armor as we drown our hearts hiding from the ghosts of one another." -Andrew Osenga"When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget." -Christina Georgina Rossetti"The glory of men must always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it." -Maxim 157 Francois, Duc de La Rochefoucauld"There's only now There's only here Give in to love Or live in fear No other path No other way No day but today" -RENT"Much madness is divinest sense, To a discerning eye, Much sense the starkest madness. Tis the majority, assent and you are sane. Demure, you're straightway dangerous And handled with a chain." -Emily Dickenson"Stand my ground, I won't give in No more denying, I've got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside If I don't make it, someone else will Stand my ground." -Within Temptation"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth--only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with and, in the end, despair." -C.S. Lewis"Don't dream it...BE IT!" -Rocky Horror Picture Show"A new dream - I have one I know That very few dream! I would like to see That overdue dream - Even though It never may come true! A new love - Though I know there's no Such thing as true love - Even so, Although I never knew love, Still I feel that One dream is my due!" -Jekyll and Hyde"I won't explain or say I'm sorry I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar Give a cheer for all the broken Listen here, because it's who we are!" -My Chemical Romance
