Success is never wondering what if.

People will forget what you say, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel. When I get up in the morning I cry myself back to sleep thinking of how the world will forget me when I die. Then I get back up and try to change the world so I'm not forgotten. 20 years after I die I want to be read about in history books because I belong to that 2% of the population that was born to be remebered. Jesus is still being remembered 2000 years after his birth. I don't want to be the next Jesus because I want people to remember me longer. I hate that God is always 3 steps ahead of you. It takes away the element of surprise. I hear all this bullSh*t about inner beauty is all that matters, but the people saying it are drop-dead gorgeous. Most people live life and die and never find themselves, but it is something I must do. I don't want to be the silent poet performing at the cafe around the corner. I want to be the poet standing on a street corner trying to rehears to a crowd pulling at my clothes. I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right, you'll believe lies so you'll eventually learn to trust no one but yourself and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can come together. All little girls should be told they are pretty even if they aren't. Most of Marilyn Monroe's quotes are very inspiring to me.

"Nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch." James Baldwin

You've dug your own grave now its time you lay in it.

"May every sunrise hold more promise, every moonrise hold more peace." -Anon.

The best things in life The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life. - Robert Louis Stevenson

"life is what you make of it" "be the best, beat the rest" "a stitch in time saves nine" "a way through a man's heart is through his stomach" i dunno whether the last one is a quote or not, but i found it really inspiring! :)
