I remember this one from Jacks signature (if i remember correctly.. ) "We all need heroes, sometimes so much we forget our heroes are human."

The aphorism in my status is applicable to where I am in my life at the moment. Who knows if Confucius actually said it, but I like it.
De omnibus dubitandum (All is to be doubted) is probably my favourite Latin phrase. It's another one of those ancient phrases whose origins are difficult to pin down, but it's often attributed to Rene Descartes, which is good enough for me.
A less pretentious one: "If something seems too good to be true, it probably is" - Unknown

This will be my thread when I have enough time to put all of that stuff in here -
Those are some of Taylor Swift's quotes, I have to dig out my general quote documents for more...
"The thing about life is, everytime you learn a lesson, another is waiting right around the corner. You never know everything."
"Life isn't how to survive the storm, it's about how to dance in the rain."
"To me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death."
and, because I really love her for that part of her speech for Clean:
"You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged goods or money from your failed explorations. You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you. You are a product of the lessons that you've learned. You are wiser because you went through something terrible. And you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking. I now believe that pain makes you stronger. And I now believe that walking through a lot of rainstorms gets you Clean."

I have a notebook filled with all of my favourite quotes that I come across whilst reading, if I were to post them all it would be the length of a short novel! Some of them are deeply personal to me, and others I just find wonderfully written. But here are a few of them ...
''It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.'' - J.K. Rowling
''Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.'' - J.K. Rowling
''We gave the Future to the winds, and slumbered tranquilly in the Present, weaving the dull world around us into dreams.'' - Edgar Allan Poe
''For although a man is judged by his actions, by what he has said and done, a man judges himself by what he is willing to do, by what he might have said, or might have done - a judgement that is necessarily hampered, not only by the scope and limits of his imagination, but by the ever-changing measure of his doubt and self-esteem.'' - Eleanor Catton
''It wasn't worth wasting your time trying to change the world; it was enough not to let the world change you.'' - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
''It is perhaps the universal experience of travellers - I have only my own view to judge it by - but there is a moment, in the dead hours of the night, when a man may sit upon a platform in an empty station, waiting for the last train upon a long journey, and regardless of the personal experience of that individual, he ceases to be an 'I' and becomes a 'he'.'' - Claire North
''How nice - to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.'' - Kurt Vonnegut
''He attacked everything in life with a mixture of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence and it was often difficult to tell which was which.'' - Douglas Adams
''It frightened me, how close violence is to the civilised surface of a human being. It wasn't the violence itself that was the worry, it was the amount of effort they'd gone to to conceal it.'' - Matt Haig
''A paradox. The things you don't need to live - books, art, cinema, wine and so on - are the things you need to live.'' - Matt Haig
''I felt the beautiful melancholy of being human, captured perfectly in the setting of a sun. Because, as with a sunset, to be human was to be in-between things; a day, bursting with desperate colour as it headed irreversibly towards night.'' - Matt Haig
''This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.'' - T.S. Eliot
I have a tonne more. No doubt I'll post some more soon.

It's not saying goodbye that's hard. It's letting go.

"Beauty isn't about having a pretty face. It's about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart and a pretty soul"
"Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself"
"Whatever's good for your soul... do that"
"Language has created the word 'lonelliness' to express the pain of being alone and the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone"
"Enjoy the little things"
"Dreams don't work until you do"
"Don't let your emotions make your decisions"
"It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not"
"You're not always going to like everything that happens, but sooner or later you're going to accept things for what they are"
"And in the end it's not about the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years"
"Love when you're ready. Not when you're lonely"
"Dreams aren't what you leave behind when morning comes. They're the stuff that fill your every living moment"
"The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it"
"Don't wait for a perfect moment. Take a moment and make it perfect"
"Live life to the fullest because it only happens once"
"Lying is done with words. And also with silence"
"There is no lie that will remain to be hidden forever"
"I don't trust words, I trust actions"
"Humans are fragile creatures made up of broken hearts and broken promises"
These are some of my favourites. I have an entire folder of hundreds of them.

I love Quotes. I thinks quotes are pearls of wisdom. The last quoted i mention was: "Making laws to solution problems is like cutting Hidra's heads" Plato, The Republic. I love a lot more quotes, but i think too much quotes at a time is like a cacophony of thoughts.
