I wish I could remember all the amazing quotes I've come across lately. But I can only remember a few, so here they are in a nutshell. They don't all describe me, but something about each one has been particularly memorable.
"Anyone can cook... food always comes to those who love to cook."
Ratatouille
"When you try your best, but your don't succeed/When you get what you want, but not what you need/When you feel so tired but you can't sleep/Stuck in reverse/And the tears come streaming down your face/When you lose something you can't replace/When you love someone, but it goes to waste/Could it be worse?/Lights will guide you home/And ignite your bones/And I will try to fix you."
"Fix You" by Coldplay
"Before reaching the final line, however, he had already understood that he would never leave that room, for it was foreseen that the city of mirrors would be wiped out by the wind and exiled from the memory of men at the precise moment when Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, and that everything written on them was unrepeatable since time immemorial and forever more, because races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth."
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
"All the scientists are determined to tell us what the moon is made of and what the stars are... and why there are rainbows... but I just don't want to know. When I wish on a star, I don't need to know what it's made out of. As for me, when a thing is beautiful, what does it matter why."
Standing In the Rainbow by Fannie Flagg

I LOVE your quotes, epecially the cold play Fix You lyrics. It's one of my favorite songs. I love the Fannie Flagg quote, for I can identify with her frustration. I agree that sometimes people try to over analyse everything. Sometimes it's better to go back to the basics and keep it simple. Like she said, if something is beautifeul why do you need to question it and break it down. When one breaks down something too much some the beauty may fade away. As when someone tells a joke and has to explain it to someone who didn't get it, the joke loses it's punch, as do simple pleasures that are picked apart and disected.
Thank you! I agree, I absolutely love the Fannie Flagg quote. It's something I agree with, but I don't feel like I'm actually doing – I mean, I'm taking AP Chemistry for goodness sake. Talk about understanding why things are the way they are – that's what that class is all about. But the quote presents a nice, refreshing thought: why bother yourself worrying about what makes something beautiful when you can just revel in the beauty instead?
