QOTD

LindzK

Hi Ladies,  Since Glow has graduated, I volunteered to post the QOTD on Wednesdays and/or Thursdays (I'll try for both to get the board going if it's slow).  If you all would like a QOTD everyday, we need some more volunteers please.

QOTD:  What is your favorite Quote? (or 2 if you absolutly can't decide)

Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. - Charles Caleb Colton

I don't have a favorite all-time quote but I think this one is mine right now given what I'm (we're) dealing with.

"The English language lacks the words 'to mourn an absence.' For the loss of a parent, grandparent, spouse, child or friend we have all manner of words and phrases, some helpful, some not. Still, we are conditioned to say something, even if it is only 'I am sorry for your loss.' But for an absence, for someone who was never there at all, we are wordless to capture that particular emptiness. For those who deeply want children and are denied them, those missing babies hover like silent, ephemeral shadows over their lives. Who can describe the feel of a tiny hand that is never held?"

--Laura Bush

 ETA:  Sorry, this is much longer than a quote, more like an excerpt!

I have a lot...

In the end, everything will be ok. If it's not ok, then it's not the end.

If you continue to do what you have always done, you will continue to get what you have always gotten.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time. - Thomas Edison

I'll put two out there that I love:

John Lennon's "Life is what happens when you are making other plans." 

and then the quote in my siggy from Shawshank Redemption that Andy says in the letter he leaves for Red...."Remember, Hope is a good thing.  Maybe the best thing.  And no good thing ever dies."

"He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." -Dr. Johnson

"It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything." -Chuck Palahniuk

"Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned" -Chuck Palahniuk
