"I have discovered that we may be in some degree whatever character we choose. Besides, practice forms a man to anything."
-James Boswell, Scottish biographer (1740-1795)
The room fills with moonlight and memories of old times,
But don't worry about me, I'm just fine most of the time.
The hardest part is late night, when I'm home all alone,
And the house is so still nothing better to do than think about you.
I'm lying here without you by my side.
-Jewel
"On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined; No sleep till morn when youth and Pleasure meet To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet."
-Lord Byron (George Gordon), British poet (1788-1824)
Memories of better days
Turn the pages back to a faded photograph
Of memories of yesterdays
The years will pass by
But they'll never bring me back to you
"Our works are the mirror wherein the spirit first sees its natural lineaments. Hence, too, the folly of that impossible precept, Know theyself; till it be translated into this partially possible one, know what thou canst work at."
-Thomas Carlyle, Scottish author (1795-1881)
Sad Friendship Quotes
And don't tell me that you're not scared because I know that you are. I mean, I've known you too long and seen you push away too many good things to let you push me away right now. My whole life, you have been the most beautiful thing in my orbit. And my feelings for you were what proved to me that I could be great. And those feelings were stronger and were wiser and more persistent and more resilient than anything else about me."- Dawson's Creek
