”Relationships don’t work the way they do on television and in the movies. Will they? Won’t they? And then they finally do, and they’re happy forever. Give me a break. Nine out of ten of them end because they weren’t right for each other to begin with, and half of the ones who get married get divorced anyway, and I’m telling you right now, through all this stuff, I have not become a cynic. I haven’t. Yes, I do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing chocolate covered candies and, you know, in some cultures, a chicken. You can call me a sucker, I don’t care, because I do believe in it. Bottom line is: it’s couples who are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but the big difference is they don’t let it take them down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time. If it’s right, and they’re real lucky, one of them will say something.” - Dr. Cox

By any other name would smell as sweet;"
Ok, sorry but this has meaning to me.
My Love, My Dear, Sweetness, Baby, Honey; all names for the same one. That special person able to make you stomach still flutter, make your loins ache, make you do foolish things. But no matter the name, that person evokes the same passion.

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
-Bob Marley
"My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is 'Fuck David Samson' then you shouldn't say anything at all. So I'm not going to say anything at all."

Agnes Martin's notes for “On the Perfection Underlying Life”:
"We will all get there someday and do the work we are supposed to do. Of all the pitfalls in our paths and the tremendous delays and wanderings off the track, I want to say that they are not what they seem to be. I want to say that all that seems like fantastic mistakes are not mistakes and all that seems like an error is not an error; and it all has to be done - that which seems like a false step is just the next step."
The quote in my signature is from my favourite game ever called Tales of Symphonia: "Dwarven vow no 7: Goodness and love will always win" I just love it!
Also, one by Spike Milligan: "I told you I was ill."
And finally, I don't know who said it, but I like it nevertheless: "The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming dragon"
a horse a horse my kingdom for a horse!
"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
