Adam Young: "Wait so Microsoft bought Skype for 8.5 billion dollars? Why didn’t they just download it for free?"

Mountie: "Do your best to pour every ink-stained word and every drop of sweat into your manuscript. Write the story that you've been called to write. Because I know it, dear writer: you have a story. And it needs to be told. After all, if you don't tell it, who will?"

Mountie: "We are uniquely different, yet the same. Same struggles. Same pain. Same Savior. We are broken, tossed by the winds. We are bruised, battered, and bleeding. We are beautifully made. We are blessed. We are different, yet the same. And we are His."

Things overheard at the office...

Client: "Oh, you're getting old!"
My Boss: "Yeah, I've been doing that for a while now."

Co-worker, to a client: "Now you will see that all the hype was not in vain; this pen really is all it's cracked up to be." (He, uh, really loves his pen. XD)

Co-worker #1: "They changed the design!"
Co-worker #2: "What was wrong with it?"
Co-worker #1: "It was beautiful!"

Co-worker, by way of explanation as he rushed toward the restroom for the second time in 15 minutes: "Bottomless coffee!!"

And of course, a few from Dee...

Me: "The mail was early today."
Dee: "That may be the first time a male has ever been early."

Dee: "ANYTHING BUT THE TEARS! Punch me! Kick me! But DON'T cry on me!"

“I do not call you unfortunate,” said the Large Voice.
“Don't you think it was bad luck to meet so many lions?” said Shasta.
“There was only one lion,” said the Voice.
“What on earth do you mean? I've just told you there were at least two the first night, and-“
“There was only one: but he was swift of foot.”
“How do you know?”
“I was the lion.” And as Shasta gaped with open mouth and said nothing, the Voice continued. “I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the Horses the new strength of fear for the last mile so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.”
"Then it was you who wounded Aravis?"
"It was I"
"But what for?"
"Child," said the Voice, "I am telling you your story, not hers. I tell no one any story but his own."
"Who are you?" asked Shasta.
"Myself," said the Voice, very deep and low so that the earth shook: and again "Myself", loud and clear and gay: and then the third time "Myself", whispered so softly you could hardly hear it, and yet it seemed to come from all round you as if the leaves rustled with it.

Switchfoot, Always

To sail beyond the sunset and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die

"This above all: To thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
-Shakespeare's Hamlet

Here are some more quotes from Tennyson's Ulysses

I cannot rest from travel, I will drink
Life to the lees.

How dull it is to pause, to make an end
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breathe were life. Life piled on life

To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield

And here's one that isn't from Ulysses:

Beauty will save the world.

Fyodor Doestevsky (or however you spell that)

I re-watched a move called "Center Stage". This quote stood out to me as very profound. Hearing that quote was a defining moment for me. It made me know I made the right decision in regards to a major.

"That's what ballet would be … a life of wishing I had found something I really love instead of something I just happen to do well" - Maureen Cummings

[Lady Haleth]

We're all guilty of the same things/We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through/And I know/That I have been forgiven/And I hope/You can forgive me too.

Relient K, "Forgiven"

When men cease to believe in something, they do not believe in nothing, they believe in anything.

G.K. Chesterton.

I want to thrive, not just survive

Switchfoot, "Thrive"

Until I die I'll sing these songs/On the shores of Babylon/Still looking for a home/In a world where I belong/Where the weak are finally strong/Where the righteous right the wrongs/Still looking for a home/In a world where I belong

Switchfoot, "Where I Belong"

Why would I wait till I die, to come alive?

Switchfoot, "Afterlife"

[Elanor]

"Some girls want vampires.
Some want werewolves.
I'm just waiting for my Time Lord."

"Dress everyday like you're running away with the Doctor in those clothes."

Yeah. Doctor Who.

[Lady Haleth]

Just because you're running doesn't mean that you're scared/Just because it's law don't mean that it's fair/Never let another tell your soul what to fear

Switchfoot, "Rise Above It"
