-Beethoven

If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best.

A bell isn't a bell until someone rings it, a song isn't a song until someone sings it. Love wasn't put in the heart to stay, for love isn't love 'till you give it away.

"The richest love is that which lasts through time apart to someday be together"

"The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed."
-J. Krishnamurti

"The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."

"Move on. Its just a chapter in the past. But don't close the book, just turn the page."

"You never know how strong you are...until being strong is the only choice you have."

"Some people blame our generation, but have they ever stopped to think who raised us?"

"Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself."

"Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible."

      I'm sorry I don't. I just found it on a love quotes site a long time ago. I'm glad it touched you though, maybe a great poem will come from it!

    I love quotes, too!

    My favourite from your list is "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

    So many people think that they are born with their personality and that it doesn't change--they are who they are. Not so. You may be born with certain traits and characteristics, but you are free to change as many as you like, it just takes some time and effort. The brain is constantly learning, growing, changing.

    And if I can come up with a poetic way to say that, I'll enter!

    Well done on the contest. Having supported you by entering I was a little disappointed not to receive a comment. It was probably just an oversight but in any event I'm not much impressed. G
