The kid that wants to be different so they act just the same as their friends who all want to be different as well...She might be one of THOSE people.; November 11, 2008 at 1:59 PM

WORDS.

"You don't have a soul, you are a soul. You Have a body." -C.S. Lewis

"I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well." - Diane Ackerman

"I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome, I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though I had wings." -Mary Oliver

"You know that place between sleep and awake; that place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I will always love you. That's where I will be waiting." -Peter Pan

"If you're feeling blue, try painting yourself a different color." -Hannah Cheatem

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

-Albert Einstein

"All that is gold does not glitter." -J.R.R. Tolkein

"They do not come to dream, they come to be woken up. Who are you to say otherwise?" -Inception

"Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shh'ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don't let someone steal your tenderness. Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to be truly affected by things. Whether it's a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all. Look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love. -Zooey Deschanel

"There is a difference between looking at a thing, and seeing a thing. And one does not see anything until one sees its beauty." - An Ideal Husband
