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.

Sometimes certain profound quotes are the only things that get me through the day.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss

"If you ever find yourself lost in the darkness, just remember morning is on its way." - Kyle Hyde, Last Window: The Secret of Cape West

"You're gonna carry that weight." - Cowboy Bebop (This one has such personal significance to me I'm seriously considering tattooing it beneath my left collarbone, across my heart)

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." - John Lennon

"Sometimes surviving isn't enough... Sometimes you just have to... try and make the world a better place." - Cole Phelps, LA Noire

"Believe you can, and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt

"Never let your fear decide your fate." - A lyric from Kill Your Heroes by AWOLNATION

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.

Please ping me to get my attention, I don't check the forums too often.
So sorry!

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

  • Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

    I find this to be quite often true. It's made me tear up whenever I've felt irreparably broken.

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.

This is one of my all-time favorite quotes -

Quote
&quot;Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However, that parting need not last forever... Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time... That is up to you.&quot;</p>
<ul>
<li>Happy Mask Salesman, The Legend of Zelda: Majora&;s Mask

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:
