QOTD 4.3.14

“I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.” 

            -Looking for Alaska By John Green
(I know that this is a long one, but the writing is just wonderful. I think John Green is the first person that I love his writing just as well as the story.)

ONE DAY MORE!! Les Miserables

Valjean 
One day more, 
Another day, another destiny, 
This never ending road to Calvary; 
These men who seem to know my crime 
Will surely come a second time, 
One day more... 

Marius 
I did not live until today! 
How can I live when we are parted? 

Valjean 
One day more... 

Marius & Cosette 
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away, 
And yet with you, my world has started. 

Eponine 
One more day all on my own 

Marius & Cosette 
Will we ever meet again? 

Eponine 
One more day with him not caring 

Marius & Cosette 
I was born to be with you. 

Eponine 
What a life I might have known 

Marius & Cosette 
And I swear I will be true! 

Eponine 
But he never saw me there... 

Enjolras 
One more day before the storm! (Marius: Do I follow where she goes?) 
At the barricades of Freedom! (Marius: Shall I join my brothers there! ?) 
When our ranks begin to form, (Marius: Do I stay or do I dare?) 
Will you take your place with me? 

All 
The time is now, 
The day is here! 

Valjean 
One day more! 

Javert 
One more day to revolution, 
We will nip it in the bud! 
We'll be ready for these schoolboys, 
They will wet themselves with blood! 

Valjean 
One day more! 

M. & Mme. Thenardier 
Watch'm run amuck, 
Catch'm as they fall, 
Never know your luck 
When there's a free-for-all, 
Here a little dip 
There a little touch, 
Most of them are goners 
So they won't miss much! 

Various Students 
One day to a new beginning 
Raise the flag of freedom high! 
Every man will be a king 
Every man will be a king 
There's a new world for the winning 
There's a new world to be won 
Do you hear the people sing? 

Marius 
My place is here, 
I fight with you! 

Valjean 
One day more! 

Marius & Cosette 
I did not live until today! 
How can I live when we are parted? 
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away 
And yet with you my world has started 

Eponine 
One more day all on my own... 

Javert 
I will join these people's heroes 
I will follow where they go 
I will know their little secrets, 
I will know the things they know. 

Valjean 
One day more! 

M. & Mme. Thenardier 
Watch 'em run amuck 
Catch 'em as they fall 
Never know your luck 
When there's a free-for-all 

Javert 
One more day to revolution 
We will nip it in the bud 
We'll be ready for these schoolboys 
Tomorrow is the judgement day 

Valjean 
Tomorrow we'll be far away, 
Tomorrow is the judgement day 

All 
Tomorrow we'll discover 
What our God in Heaven has in store! 
One more dawn 
One more day 
One day more!

QOTD 3.13.14

QOTD 3.8.14

       “There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”

                                            -Hazel Grace 

I know that this one is long, but I love John Green and his writing is just as perfect as the stories as he writes; books like those make me happy. J

"The pursuit of excellence is gratifying and healthy. The pursuit of perfection is frustrating, neurotic, and a terrible waste of time."
