Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Hannah Senesh:

One needs something to believe in, something for which one can have whole-hearted enthusiasm. One needs to feel that one's life has meaning, that one is needed in this world.


Jimmy Carter:
I have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands -- this is not optional -- my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whateve
r I Have I Can Make a differnce

Pablo Picasso:
My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the Pope." Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.

Robert Byrne:
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.


Thomas Paine:
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

Katherine Mansfield:
Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in.

Harriet Beecher Stowe:
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

Alexander Graham Bell:
When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.

Albert Einstine:

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."

"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."

"Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."

"Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater."

-- Ludwig van Beethoven

Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

- George Washington
Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of
celestial fire called conscience.


How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life
you will have been all of these

Edgar Alan Poe:

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.

The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.
Me: ( Only had time no post 1 will add more later )
Music is the unspoken words of a philosopher.
Not mine: author unknown
With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion

The quotes from Final Fantasy IX, they're just amazing:

How can you prove that we exist? Maybe we don't exist...

You don't need a reason to help people.

To be forgotten is worse than Death

Sometimes, you can't think everything out. You have to listen to your heart.

Having sworn fealty, must I spend my life in servitude?

Someday I will be queen, but I will always be myself.

I have a favor I wish to ask of you... I wish to be kidnapped right away.

The only definite thing about the future is uncertainty.

I'd rather die as a warrior than live as a beggar.

I'm not here to help. I just want it to be fair.

The answer you seek may forever change your life for the worse.

Why you care about small things? World very simple place. World only have two things: Things you can eat and things you no can eat.

Good food not only delicious! Good food made with heart! This very important when cooking for friends!

I don't wanna be alone anymore...

Listen to me. You should never lie to yourself.

I find this rain pleasant. It is as if the raindrops are blessing our victory.

Never would I have imagined running into you in a place like this. It must be fate. But you cannot rest your wings yet... Fly home to your mother, my little canary. I, too, will welcome you home with open arms.

The weak lose their freedom to the strong. Such is the way of the strong. And it is the providence of nature that only the strong survive. That is why I needed strength.

First, you don't want to listen, now you start asking questions? Oh, brother...

Spare me the lecture. Lives come and go all the time. What's the big deal?

Mwahaha... So the curtain rises! Perfect, my canary. Let me show you the truth about your mother! First Act: The End of the Ugly Desire. It's showtime!

Peace is but a shadow of death, desperate to forget its painful past... Though we hope for promising years. After shedding a thousand tears, yesterday's sorrow constantly nears. And while the moon still shines blue, by dawn, it will turn to scarlet hue.

What comedy! Zidane, isn't it hilarious!? I'll die just like the black mages I so despise! I single-handedly brought chaos unto Gaia, but in the end, I'm nothing but a worthless doll! ... I won't let it happen. I won't... I won't let this world exist without me!

Why should the world exist without me? That wouldn't be fair. If I die, we all die!

After you guys beat me, I had nothing left...nothing more to lose. Then, I finally realized what it means to live... I guess I was too late.

The Canary I have been after, she flew into my cage of her own free will.

My sweet angel, come to me. I will take you to a world of dreams.

I commend your courage, but I shall show you no mercy.

We're all just blindly following orders. My heart and my will mean nothing...

My heart is set. All this time, I have been mistaken...

My allegiance to you remains the same, if not stronger.

Save your valediction, Steiner. We will live to see another day.

I don' t know... Fear? I don't want to stop. And maybe I want to run away from it all. But living in the village with everyone fills me with joy. The joy of living with them far outweighs the fear of death. Isn't it the same for you? Traveling with your friends gives your life meaning.

I'm telling you, she was too shy to hand me the letter herself! And if you don't think I'm a ladies' man, you're wrong. Chicks are intimidated by good-looking guys.

...Do not limit memory to just one individual's experiences from birth. That is only the surface. Every life born into this world, whether natural or artificial, requires a parent. And that parent also requires a parent. Life is connected, one to another... If you trace the root of all life, there exists one source. The same can be said for memory. All life constitutes an intelligence that holds memory beyond experience. Memory is not isolated within individuals. It is an accumulation of generations of memories that continues to evolve. You can say that memory and evolution go hand in hand. But most life-forms do not understand the true nature of memories... ...which explains why most memories never cross paths and are left..."untangled."

All life fears death from birth. Life fears death, but lives only to die. It starts with anxiety. Anxiety becomes fear. Fear leads to anger... anger leads to hate... hate leads to suffering... The only cure for this fear is total destruction. ...Now, the theory is undeniable. Kuja's action proves it. All things live to perish.

In a world of nothing, fear does not exist. This is the world that all life desires.

I am eternal... ...as long as there is life and death...

Come. Enter the Zero World you so desire.

I... I am empty now... Free... Free... of that... terrible... greed...

I love poetry

That, if gold rust, what shall poor iron do?
For if the priest be foul, in whom we trust,
What wonder if a layman yield to lust?

Well ought a priest example good to give,
By his own cleanness, how his flock should live.

taken from "Two Loves" *ahem*

'Sweet youth,
Tell me why, sad and sighing, thou dost rove
These pleasent realms? 1 pray thee speak me sooth
What is thy name?' He said, 'My name is Love.'
Then straight the first did turn himself to me
And cried, 'He lieth, for his name is Shame,
But I am Love, and I was wont to be
Alone in this fair garden, till he came
Unasked by night; I am true Love, I fill
The hearts of boy and girl with mutual flame.'
Then sighing, said the other, 'Have thy will,
I am the love that dare not speak its name.'
