oh what a world, what a world...

I haven't written in a while, but have yet to come up with anything really clever in my own words worth jotting down. And my brain is far too fried and emotionally overloaded right now to do much of anything. So I figured, why not write down some of my favorite qoutes from other people? So, that's what I'm going to do. I will put the author on the ones I know for sure and remember the author's name. So for now, enjoy these words that have either brought me joy, sadness, strength, inspiration, or laughter.

"For sorrow memory was given; if peace of mind is your demand, forget!" - form the book "Astrid and Veronika" by Linda Olsson* (any other quotes marked with a * are from this same author)

"Tonight you're invited to dance with the mist..." *

"for nothing hurts like you..." *

"I whisper 'yes' and 'always' as I lie waiting for thunder from a stone sky" *

"Oh how can I quiet my heart, that is tossed from north to south?" *

"now let me sing you gentle songs..." *

"first you wanna ride off into the sun, then you wanna shoot straight to the -moon..." - Bright Eyes

"Leap and the net will appear" - Jason Mraz (Make it Mine)

"Open up your mind and see like me. Open up your plans and damn your free..." -Jason Mraz (I'm Yours)

"See that girl, as her own new world. Though her home is on the surface, she is still a universe. Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds. Are we all here standing naked, taking guesses, at the actual date and time..." - Jason Mraz (Live High)

"Maybe I'll build my house on your cloud..." - Jason Mraz (Plane)

"And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me...I think it might kill me..." - Jason Mraz (If It Kills Me)

"You are strong, but you're needy; humble but you're greedy; and based on your body language and shotty cursive I've been reading, your style is quite selective, though your mind is rather wreckless; well I guess this just suggests that this is just what happiness is..." - Jason Mraz (Beautiful Mess)

"I do not keep up with statistics, I do not sleep without a mistress. I do not eat unless it's fixed with some kind of sweet like the licorice. My home is deep inside the mystics, I'm known to keep diggin' on existence. I'm holdin' in the heat like a fishstick, my phone it beeps because I missed it..." - Jason Mraz (Dynamo of Voltion)

"If it's a broken part, replace it. If it's a broken arm, then brace it. If it's a broken heart, then face it..." - Jason Mraz (Details in the Fabric)


Ok, that's enough for one night. These are by no means all of the quotes I meant to put up here. I keep thinking of more and more, but my head is sleepy and I must work tomorrow morning. So, another day I will add more.
