Powerful Words

I love quotes, I think they spark the mind to think of life from another angle that hasn't hit your mind yet, I find them so thought prokoving and they really make you sit down and think long and hard. Some are deep home truths, that we do not let our mind wander to, and others are just funny and make us giggle. Some are sad, some are happy. Some are about heart ache, others are about how we learn to love life and everything in it. I believe there are a million quotes for every situation but only certain ones can touch your heart. We must know that we are not the only people to survive life, the way we are. They're are plenty of people in the word, too many actually, that go through the same nonsense day in and day out. Whether it be, breaking up with partners, pondering about life and the universe, or even being totally, completely and utterly head over heals in love with their other halves. I never know for sure who said what, but here are some of my all time favourites that have stuck with me for the past few years.



"The God's envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovlier than you are now. We will never be here again." - Troy



"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they are afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your own reality. You should stand up for your right to feel pain." - Jim Morrison



"When the power of love, overcomes the love of power - there will be peace." - Jimi Hendrix



"Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to save the world." - Nelson Mandela





And of course, my all time favourite home truth of them all! *drumroll*



"Whatever you give a woman she is going to multiply. If you give her sperm, she will give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she will give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So - if you give her any crap, you will receive a ton of shit!" No idea who said it, but wise wise words indeed!!
