Hey everyone i need help picking my senior quote. Here is a list of all the ones that i like. I wold be so grateful if everyone picked their top 3 and let me know what they were. Thanks.
Its only now that I realize how I’ve been holding my breath, hoping for a chance, waiting for a miracle.
Everything has both dark and light. You have to play with it till you get it exactly right."
There are no safe choices...Only other choices
Everything you do comes back to you. When you affect a situation, you are also affected
There is a time in every life when paths are chosen, character is forged. I could have chosen a different path. But I didn’t
I’ve heard it said that God is in the details. It’s the same with the truth. Leave out the details, the crucial heart, and you can damn someone with the bare bones of it.
You have to know yourself, to know what you want.
You can never really know someone completely. That’s why it’s the most terrifying thing in the world, really—taking someone on faith, hoping they’ll take you on faith too. It’s such a precarious balance, It’s a wonder we do it at all.
We’re all damaged somehow.
...in each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice. We’re each of us our own chiaroscuro, our own bit of illusion fighting to emerge into something solid, something real
And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time."
"People have a habit of inventing fictions they will believe wholeheartedly in order to ignore the truth they cannot accept."
I am a jumble of passions, misgivings, and wants. It seems that I am always in a state of wishing and rarely in a state of contentment."
We are all unkind from time to time. We all do things we desperately wish we could undo. Those things just become a part of who we are, along with everything else. To spend time trying to change that, well it's just like chasing clouds."
"We're all strangers connected by what we reveal, what we share, what we take away--our stories. I guess that's what I love about books--they are thin strands of humanity that tether us to one another for a small bit of time, that make us feel less alone or even more comfortable with our aloneness, if need be."
...greatness lies even in the smallest of moments, in the humblest of hearts, and we shall, each of us, be called to greatness. Whether we shall rise to meet it or let it slip away is the challenge put before us all. "
Sometimes we seek that which we are not yet ready to find."
"There's a lot about discovering who you are and how difficult that is. And it never stops."
I am running because I can, because I must. Because I want to see how far I can go before I have to stop."
I do not want to pass the time. I want to grab hold of it and leave my mark upon the world."
" 'There are times when I wish I could go back and change the course of my life. Make different choices...But the past cannot be changed, and we carry our choices with us, forward, into the unknown. We can only move on.
'Power changes everything till it is difficult to say who are the heroes and who the villians... And magic itself is neither good nor bad; it is intent that makes it either.'"
The mere suggestion of fame and fortune casts a glamour all its own. It is rather alarming how quickly people will turn someone else's fiction into fact in order to support their own fictions of themselves."
People aren't always what you want them to be""
~"Your mind is not a cage. It's a garden. And it requires cultivating."
thanks again everyone.
