The Fall Through Your Fingers In Flakes.

I love a good quote and have a 50 page word document full of them so I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite quotes and ask you what your's are?

For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
The Curious Tale Of Benjamin Button

"Go after her, fuck, don't sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because that's what you should do if you love someone, don't wait for them to give you a sign 'cause it might never come, don't let people happen to you, don't let me happen to you, or her, she's not a fucking television show or tornado. there are people i might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and i always thought i'd be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you can't just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyone's idea of love but it is the way i can recognize it because that is what i do. go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really."
Harvey Milk
"Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."
Juno
'Im selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best'
Marylin Monroe
"I think there's something not right how people cannot like someone who they've never met, in my eyes i think that we might sometimes manage to forget that we are all sheep from the same flock, we're just all a bunch of kids and we listen to rock, isn't that what it's about? they say don't judge a book by it's cover, but people keep on judging each other and not for the things that should count. a friend of mine once said to me, there's two kinds of people in the world - it's not whether you're black or white, or if you're a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter if you're straight or gay, if you're a worker or the boss, it's just that some people are cunts, but thankfully most are not. i'll try to put a thought in all of your heads, they say that a stranger is just a friend, one that you haven't met. if you're out tonight and you meet someone, then don't hesitate to politely shake their hand and just say, alright mate. if that person turns out to be a cunt, then frankly nothing's lost, but as i said earlier, then the chances are they're not"
'There's Two Kind Of People' by James J Barrett
"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true. At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath."

Kissing slowly. Loving deeply. Hearts Shatter. Walk less quickly. Admire the sunset. Envy the moon. Pain teaches us how much more we can take. 'Best Friends' means forever. Sometimes you look in the mirror just to watch the reflection cry. Life is no storybook. Grudges are a waste of time. Don't ever go with the flow. Mistakes are life. Sometimes your handle on life breaks. Never change yourself. No fear. Don't doubt. Ban insecurities. Get rid of inhibitions. Love never gets easier. Work like you don't need the money Love like you've never been hurt. Sing like no one is listening. Dance like no one is watching. Life is a record, I bounce to the beats. Know your friends, but know your enemies better. There's no "I" in TEAM; but there's a "ME". Don't depend on anyone other than yourself. There's such thing as a happy ending. Forever is a long time. People are a virus. Music is not life. Don't blame other people. Cause a scene. Beauty is overrated. Live like there's no tomorrow. Don't waste time on people who aren't worth it. Look around you. Never back down. Some things never get better. Strive. Don't count on anything. Respect yourself more than anything. Hold tight. Always go down fighting. You're not going to live forever. You can heal without forgetting. Wish on a star. Breathe deep. Close your eyes. Jump

"If for one minute you think youre better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didnt know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about."
Gerard Way
'The best thing for me is when we're some 15 year old girl's favourite band in the world, we're the first concert she's ever been to. We just wanted to give her an album she could enjoy, rather than try and convince people that we're a real band and we're cool.'
McFly
