There are so many I love, but this one more recently has become wall art for me
"to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight: and never stop fighting." -e.e. cummings

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of ****."
love this!

Re: Post a quote that you love....
I used to keep journals of favorite quotes, but here are a few:
"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars"
Kerouac
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
— Kerouac
I used to be BIG into Kerouac

Re: Post a quote that you love....
Oh and from Romeo and Juliet - bc I used to be obsessed with shakespeare. I kid you not, I read his complete works one summer vacation in early high school (can we say dork?)
"Give me my Romeo: and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun."
I just think its beautiful.

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission. -Eleanor Roosevelt-
Found the answer in my room for the 7 secrets of success: the roof said aim high; the fan said be cool; the clock said every minute is precious; the mirror said reflect before you act; the window said see the world; the calendar said be up to date and the door said push hard to achieve goals!!!!!
and my absolute fave.......
...
A motto to live by:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOOO HOOOOO what a ride!'

"In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage."
__John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath.
another steinbeck quote that I love:
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
and my father's famous motto:
"No good deed goes unpunished"
