"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, or the most intelligent; it is the one most capable of change". ~ Charlie Dobres

"I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful" John Constable. (I feel this applies not just to objects, but everything)

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating…



…and you finish off as an orgasm.”
(Sorry, not haunting, or inspiring it just always makes me laugh )

"We stopped checking for monsters under the bed when we realized they were inside of us."

"Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy. I thought you'd want the same for me"

[Frowzle]

The Talented Mr. Ripley is the scariest movie I've ever seen.

"Well, whatever you do, however terrible, however hurtful, it all makes sense, doesn't it, in your head. You never meet anybody that thinks they're a bad person."

"Don't you just take the past and put it in a room in a basement and lock the door and never go in there? That's what I do. And then you meet someone special and all you want to do is to toss them the key and say; open up, step inside, but you can't, because it's dark, There's demons and if anybody saw how ugly it is..."

"I've lied about who I am, and where I am, and now nobody will ever find me."

[Shayde]

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so? (...) While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others."
- Akeelah and the Bee

"Get off my list of burdens, I'm tired of your conversations."

I don't know if these could be described as 'haunting' but they mean a lot to me.

“I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will”

"The most fear you could ever have is when you reach out to someone for help and they leave you in the shadows and turn their back on you."

"I'm not faithless, just paranoid"

"Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved, but one time out of ten everything is perfect for us all"

"Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

"Only the weak are cruel"

"There can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy, finally, for you too.”

"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact."

"Your existence gives me hope"

[Raichan]

My first love,'' Happy upcoming new year to you too.

and, I think it's better for you not to text me anymore.''

No, it doesn't repeat in my head anymore.. It doesn't even hurt, I honestly don't have feelings for him anymore..The quote just symbolizes somewhat (in a way I can't explain) the changes that will happen in 2011. It's about letting go, in more than just letting go (Only I know most of the real story of my life)

"This moth lives for just one day, and yet, you will never see it fall to the ground and curse the futility of its existence. Nor flowers weep when winter comes. Nor the moon sigh when dawn approaches. We are only ever given just so much. But it is always, all we need. "

[Caribou]

Philip Larkin, not to everyone's taste....

"When I see a couple of kids
And guess he's fucking her and she's
Taking pills or wearing a diaphragm,
I know this is paradise"

[Frosty]

"Nobody here but us chickens."

[Somniorum]

Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see.
One chants out between two worlds
Fire walk with me.

(Twin Peaks)

-What does it take to change the nature of a man?

(Planescape: Torment. this might not sound like much, but it's made into something haunting, interesting, and important in the context of the game)
