"I want your body." "IN MY MOUTH." April 27, 2011- BEDA- Day 27

So...

It's midnight. I KNOW, GUYS. I know. You're disappoint, and I'm disappoint too. But I feel asleep and now...

I have no excuse, okay.

Anyway, somebody asked me what my favorite quotes are. And due to my time crunch here, I'm going to make this post all of those.

"When you run out of questions you don’t just run out of answers. You run out of hope.”

Dr. Thirteen, House.

“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

John Green

“Maybe there is hope in fragments, that what is lost can always be filled in by someone who knows.”

David Levithan

"Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity."

CS Lewis

 

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all"

Oscar Wilde

You forget all of it anyway. First, you forget everything you learned - the dates of the Hay-Herran Treaty and the Pythagorean Theorem. You especially forget everything you didn’t really learn, but just memorized the night before. You forget the names of all but one or two of your teachers, and eventually you’ll forget those, too. You forget your junior class schedule and where you used to sit and your best friend’s home phone number and the lyrics to that song you must have played a million times. For me, it was something by Simon & Garfunkel. Who knows what it will be for you? And eventually, but slowly, oh so slowly, you forget your humiliations - even the ones that seemed indelible just fade away. You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart, athletic, and not. Who went to a good college. Who threw the best parties. Who could get you pot. You forget all of them. Even the ones you said you loved, and even the ones you actually did. They’re the last to go. And then once you’ve forgotten enough, you love someone else.

That last one is from a brilliant book called Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesic and I defiantly recommend it.
