Well, at first i didnt know what my favorite one would be, then i realized i have a tattoo of part of an irish proverb, so i guess that is tech. a quote haha the part in bold is what i actually have a tattoo of
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Well I could probably fill this up with my favorite quotes from UnWind. Instead I shall space it out with my favorites from each book in the series. I'll limit myself to two because if not I'll be here all day.
“I'd rather be partly great than entirely useless.” ? Neal Shusterman, Unwind
“Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up.” ? Neal Shusterman, Unwind
“The sad truth about humanity...is that people believe what they're told. Maybe not the first time, but by the hundredth time, the craziest of ideas just becomes a given.” ? Neal Shusterman, UnWholly
“Either things happen for a reason, or they happen for no reason at all. Either one's life is a thread in a glorious tapestry or humanity is just a hopelessly tangled knot.” ? Neal Shusterman, UnWholly
“You should never apologize for existing. Not even to all those people out there who wish you didn't.” ? Neal Shusterman, UnSouled
“One cannot let the events of one's past murder one's future.” ? Neal Shusterman, UnSouled
“Tools are neither demonic nor divine. It’s all about who wields them.” ? Neal Shusterman, UnDivided
“We must always be careful of the actions we take, for there are always unintended consequences. Sometimes they are serendipitous, other times they are appalling, but those consequences are always there. We must tread lightly in this world...until we are sure of foot.” ? Neal Shusterman, UnDivided
“Yeah, about the test...
The test will measure whether you are an informed, engaged, and productive citizen of the world, and it will take place in schools and bars and hospitals and dorm rooms and in places of worship. You will be tested on first dates, in job interviews, while watching football, and while scrolling through your Twitter feed. The test will judge your ability to think about things other than celebrity marriages, whether you’ll be easily persuaded by empty political rhetoric, and whether you’ll be able to place your life and your community in a broader context. The test will last your entire life, and it will be comprised of the millions of decisions that, when taken together, will make your life yours. And everything, everything, will be on it.
...I know, right?”
? John Green
I know it is kinda cheesy but I dig it.
I love quotes, and could list more, but these are some of my particular favorites:
“A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.” - Albert Einstein
“If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” - Rudyard Kipling
“Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.”
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should."
and
"A smart man learns from his mistakes, but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others."
No idea who they are attributed to, but I like to think holding these words to heart has led to better decision-making or whatever, lol.

"Families is where our nation finds hope. Where wings take dream" -George W Bush
It just makes me so happy, and I love sending it to my family on their Birthdays. It's adorably funny!
“You look at all those super hero movies, you don’t start out being the best. They usually fall down and get back up. There’s a reason for that. It mimics life a lot.” - James Reimer (my idol tbqh)
"Until we meet again my God hold you in the palm of his hands"
"Even in the darkest of times, one only has to remember to turn on the light"
the best way to predict the future is to create it ~ abraham lincoln
All shall be well, and variations on that theme from Eliot and fallen London and the lady of Norwich.
"Reason is the only foundation of all certitude."
My favorite quote of the moment has to be the Litany Against Fear from the Dune series by Frank Herbert:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
I'm currently reading these books and cannot get over how much courage this mantra gives me :) I want to learn it by heart.
It is not the mistakes we make that make us who we are. It is how we fix them.
"...I've been through it all baby, I'm mother courage."
"When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change." -Aang from The Legend of Korra
"Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery; Today is a gift, that is why it is called the Present." ~Master Oogwea Kung Fu Panda

This is one of my all-time favorite quotes -
Majora's Mask was actually my favorite storyline for more than half of my lifetime before another one ended up proving itself more impressive to me, but Majora's Mask is still my second favorite storyline, and it's actually greatly influenced who I am today / actually changed how my thought process works. The Happy Mask Salesman is my favorite character from that game, and I enjoy this quote from him a lot for extremely personal reasons. I actually even had this quote on my page in my final Yearbook from my school because I enjoy it so much. C:

My moto for the last week as been "Be pretty, not petty."
:)
. . .
"It is possible to make no mistakes and lose. That is not failure; that is life."
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."
