About me. My blog. Quotes I live by:From American Beauty (written by Alan Ball):"I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... But it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it... And then it flows through me, like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude, for every single moment of my stupid little life..." From The Return of the King (written by J.R.R. Tolkien): "There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach." |
