but heres some stuff ive found on line id like to share
i havent done a list in awhile so i feel this is an apporpriate occasion :)
Quotes that jordan loves and that just might blow your mind:
- "If you hear a voice within you say'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint,and that voice will be silenced."- Vincent Van Gogh
- i believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge,that myth is more potent than history. i believe thatdreams are more powerful than acts, that hope alwaystriumphs over experience, that laughter is the only curefor grief and i believe that love is stronger than death.
- Those awful things are survivable, because we are as indestructible as we believe ourselves to be. When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.
- And I guess all I'm trying to say is I have hope for you. That you will keep your love for the world, even though it beats you down every day.
Our days would be happier if we gave people a little bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.- You know what`s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You`re chicken, you`ve got no guts. You`re afraid to stick out your chin & say, "Okay, life`s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, cause that`s the only chance anybody`s got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," & you`re terrified somebody`s gunna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you`re already in that cage. You built it yourself. & it`s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It`s wherever you go. Cause no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself. [ Breakfast At Tiffany`s ]
- So fail. Be bad at things. Be embarrassed. Be afraid. Be vulnerable. Go out on a limb or two or twelve, and you will fall and it'll hurt. But the harder you fall, the farther you will rise. The louder you fail, the clearer your future becomes. Failure is a gift, welcome it. There are people who spend their whole lives wondering how they became the people they became, how certain chances passed them by, why they didn't take the road less traveled. Those people aren't you. You have front row seats to your own transformation, and in transforming yourself, you might even transform the world. And it will be electric, And I promise you it will be terrifying. Embrace that; embrace the new person you're becoming. This is your moment. I promise you, it is now, now, not two minutes from now, not tomorrow, but really now. Own that; know that deep in your bones. And go to sleep every night knowing that, wake up every morning remembering that. And then...keep going.
- My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know. Everybody you see. Everybody youtalk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement.
- I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!- Dr. Seuss
