"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever." - Lance Armstrong
"I was just a stupid kid back then, i take back every word that i said. Life is still and always will be a neverending story. Scar is Love. Lying is done with words but also with silence. Some people in our lives are mirrors; our reaction to them shows us who we really are. In the books I read the sinners are always more interesting than the saints, and in real life good people are dismally dull. I've no desire to be wicked, but I do want to be happy. A short life and a happy one for me and I'm willing to pay for my pleasure if it is necessary. I wear my scars proudly. They represent the battles through which I have gone, And I am proud because those battles I have won. Suicide - The most sincere form of self criticism. Plato said that under certain circumstances suicide can be justified. These included extra ordinary sorrow, unavoidable misfortune, intolerable disgrace... Too bad, Life is the slowest form of Suicide. Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead." Mark Renton, Trainspotting.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" Nelson Mandela
