"People are like arrows, they can be broken in singular amounts, but in bundles, they're unbreakable."

“Like all of my friends, she's a lousy judge of character.”

Good ol' Sedaris, full of some excellent words of wisdom. 

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

― Bob Marley

My grandma told me when I was little "Don't try, just do. Trying is stupid."

“It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else.”

Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor.

Really love the quote, just makes me think that whenever times are rough it’s making me a better person and better equipped to deal with things like that in the future.

Earth is ancient now, but all knowledge is stored up in her. She keeps a record of everything that has happened since time began. Of time before time, she says little, and in a language that no one has yet understood. Through time, her secret codes have gradually been broken. Her mud and lava is a message from the past. Of time to come, she says much, but who listens?

Jeanette Winterson

"I'm brilliant at cooking my stepmother's scrambled egg recipe. The secret is to put eggs, butter, milk, and seasoning together in the saucepan, and to keep stirring with a wooden spoon under a low heat until the preferred consistency is reached."

Ian Mckellen

“Aging is not an option, not for anyone. It is how gracefully we handle the process and how lucky we are, as the process handles us.”
– Cindy McDonal

"Not every insult require a response." My favorite quotes bounce around depending on what is going on in my life. We hear and see inspiration all around us every day, more often than not we just choose not listen to it or look at it because we're too preoccupied with issues that probably truly don't matter, but I digress.

This quote resonates with me as I get older just because people get insulted so easily, and more often than not, by people they don't care about or people whom don't matter. A lot of energy and negative emotion is evoked from people who we then choose to give meaning and power to based on their meandering. I think it's best to take the Michael Corleone approach to stay stoic regardless and keep forging ahead. Of course, he never let insults go, he just never acknowledged them.

“Mostly, what I have learned so far about aging, despite the creakiness of one’s bones and cragginess of one’s once-silken skin, is this: Do it. By all means, do it.” 

—Maya Angelou

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

-George Bernard Shaw

This is put beautifully and is so simple, but yet so deep!

This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.

Graham Chapman

A few lovely Mr. Garrison quotes:

"There's no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people".

"A haiku is just like a normal poem, except it doesn't rhyme and it's totally stupid".

"Now wait a minute. I wanna clear the air here. We all know that pigeon was a whore. Raise your hand if you didn't sleep with that pigeon".

And so many more. All words of wisdom.

dont see failure as the last step.

see it as the first step to success

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has."

- MARGARET MEADE

My favorite quote for anybody who thinks they can't change anything.

Especially meaningful in an election year.
