    "I feel infinite" - The Perks of Being a Wallflower (book), highly recommended by the way :)

    The quote is cool because it talks about the power that a single moment can have.

    yes, anne stevensons vertigo.

    it went

    Mind led body

    to the edge of the precipice.

    They stared in desire

    at the naked abyss.

    If you love me, said mind,

    take that step into silence.

    If you love me, said body,

    turn and exist.

    the last line always stuck with me becasue i was contemplating suicide at the time and the meaning was so profound... just the theological matter, the immorality the act.... that it summed up so well the war that was being waged within quite a thing to ponder, the mind and the body actually putting words to the things a person with depression deals with. so yes. i live by that last line "if you love me said body, turn and exist." and i have.

    Nick and Norah's Infinate Playlist:

    "There's this part of Judism that I like. Tikun Olam. It said that the world is broken into pieces and everyone has to find them and put them back together....Maybe we don't have to find it. Maybe we are the pieces. "

    -This one has always struck me from the start. It's hard to explain but it just sort of speaks to me.

    Speak:

    "Gym should be illegal. It's humiliating." -self explanitory

    The Runaways:

    "Jail-f-ing-bait! Jack-f-ing-pot!"

    -I had this one written on my binder and my b*tchy-*ss sciece teacher chewed me out for it. Made me feel like I was born in 1960, like I think I might should have been. F YEAH MAN!

    "I always knew I'd never reach perfection, and If I ever did then I was trying hard enough; because there is always something more in life to live for." the quote explains it all.
