quotes

"I choose to live and to

Grow, take and give and to

Move, learn and live and to

Cry, kill and die and to

Be paranoid and to

Lie, hate and fear and to

Do what it takes to move through."

-Maynard James Keenan

"I want to see the world, but in return I want the world to see me."

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,

To throw a perfume on the violet,

To smooth the ice, or add another hue

Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light

To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,

Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

-William Shakespeare, King John

'The Rainbow comes and goes,

And lovely is the Rose,

The Moon doth with deligh

Look round her when the heavens are bare,

Waters on a starry night

Are beautiful and fair;

The sunshine is a glorious birth;

But yet I know, where'er I go,

That there hath past away a glory from the earth.'

-William Wordsworth (1770-1850),

Ode: Intimations of Immortality fromRecollections of Early Childhood

Just like the falling rainbow,

Just like the stars in the sky,

Life should never feel small.

-Vearncombe

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be King.

--J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

"Live your life in such a way that when you look in the mirror, there isn't anyone you'd rather be." --author unknown

'Every soul is a melody

which needs renewing.'

-Stephane Mallarme, Variations sur un sujet
