Quote of the day – 30.11.2011

today’s quote is by Alex Gaskarth. I found it today on Facebook, and I wanted to share it with you… Not because I am a hardcore fan of bands and artists, but because music has never failed me, and I have faith that it never will… Favorites come and go, but the love for music, and the way it fuels my passion for life will never go away…

“Never underestimate a girl’s love for her favorite band. Never think even for a minute, that she won’t defend them to her death. Because it’s not just the music that makes that band her favorite. It’s the guys, the gals. It’s the fans. People whom of which she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might have saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in her music.”

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;”

 

 

 

Quote of The Day

i can’t seem to shake this passage out of my head… so here it is

 

“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume.”
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 2.3

Higher Window lyrics***

For all the times I tried for this
And every chance at you I missed
I’ve been known to go my way, but I confess
It made me miss you more

 

LITANY AGAINST FEAR

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

-Litany Against Fear, Dune book One, By Frank Herbert
