“In my sport, we don’t have breaks or timeouts, there’s no off season and no one sits out on the bench. We don’t postpone because of weather and we don’t quit on account of injury. I don’t talk to my teammate but we communicate without words. We don’t practice 5 hours a week, more like 5 hours a day, 6 days a week. All my sport really is, is galloping full speed, finding distances, swapping leads, spinning, jumping high fences, stopping suddenly at great speeds, doing the required patter exactly how it is written, and looking good doing it. If you think that running, jumping, shooting, or throwing a ball or anything else is more difficult than sitting on an animal that weighs at least 10 times as much as you with a mind of its own… while riding full speed towards a solid, stationary object that stands taller than you do, tell me about your sorry excuse for a sport.” -Anonymous

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life. And see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” -Thoreau

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.” -Dr. Seuss

“Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.” -Sigmund Freud

“Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.” -Andy Warhol

“As a girl, you’re supposed to love Sleeping Beauty. I mean, who wants to be Sleeping Beauty when you can be Aladdin?” -Ellen Page

“Is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me.” -J.K. Rowling

“I wanted to badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.” -John Green, Looking For Alaska

“Coming out is a funny thing: it’s like confessing to people that you wear underwear. To you, it’s obvious and feels totally normal, but you want to be absolutely sure other people know.” -AVENite

“…wisest is she know knows she does not know…” -Socrates

“Horse, you are truly a creature without equal, for you fly without wings and conquer without a sword.” -The Koran

“That’s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they’re pretty. It’s like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste.” John Green, Paper Towns

“How absurd is a law that seeks to classify a plant as a crime, as if there were something feloniously wrong with nature.” -Justice Jim Staples

“It drives me crazy that my usually feminine presentation leads people to questioning if I am sufficiently queer… I identify so strong as radically, deeply queer, and it hurts so much when I feel rejected by my community for not being dykey enough.”
