If you&#039;re holding out for universal popularity, I&#039;m afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.<br /> J. K. Rowling ( Albus Dumbledore)<br /> <br /> Be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be.<br /> Kurt Vonnegut<br /> ... You sort of start thinking anything&#039;s possible if you&#039;ve got enough nerve.<br /> J. K. Rowling (Ginny Weasley)<br /> <br /> An artist&#039;s only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else&#039;s.<br /> J. D. Salinger<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;ve Got Soul, But I&#039;m not a Solider&quot;<br /> - The Killers (All these things that I&#039;ve Done)<br /> <br /> Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.<br /> Hedy Lamarr<br /> <br /> &quot;I believe everyone deserves a happily ever after. But I think that happy endings don&#039;t just happen by accident --- you can&#039;t wait for one. You have to make them happen. You are responsible for your own happiness.&quot; - Micheal Buckley<br /> <br /> Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding.<br /> <br /> Those who do not know what love is<br /> likens it to beauty<br /> Those who claim to know what love is<br /> likens it to ugliness<br /> -Gin Ichimaru&quot;<br /> &mdash; Tite Kubo<br /> <br /> True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.<br /> Kurt Vonnegut<br /> <br /> &ldquo;It was then that Hook bit him.<br /> Not the pain of this but its unfairness was what dazed Peter. It made him quite helpless. He could only stare, horrified. Every child is affected thus the first time he is treated unfairly. All he thinks he has a right to when he comes to you to be yours is fairness. After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but he will never afterwards be quite the same boy. No one ever gets over the first unfairness; no one except Peter.&rdquo;<br /> ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan<br /> <br /> War is not merely the expression of a few old men&rsquo;s selfishness; rather, war emerges out of a profound and toxic ignorance in the human heart&mdash;an ignorance that causes one to seek out an enemy and to see the world as a hostile place.
