“The wretched person prides himself in living an abnormal life, while the blessed person strives to live an extraordinary one.”

All virtue springs from a single action: remembrance.

Sincerity is the remembrance of God.

Righteousness is the remembrance of God’s Laws.

Humility is the remembrance of one’s faults and folly.

Compassion is the remembrance of one’s weakness and pain.

Love is the remembrance of virtue.

Let us improve our memory!

Let us never forget!

Salvador Dali, The Persistence of Memory

“Never trust anyone with a penis.”

“In youth, an ordinary life seems banal, but as one ages, an ordinary life seems blissful.”

ok so i found this really fun word game called “dropquotes”, where you have to rearrange letters and “drop” them into their appropriate slot to finish a quote (i’ve always loved quotes - and writing quotes is fun too because you can get each LETTER perfect, whereas poems or books are just too long and require too much time to perfect)- and some of the quotes are so cool (well, every one of them is enjoyable), but i’ll make a list of some of my faves…(but only from the game! ha ha)
