"When life knocks you down just remember, you're in the perfect position to pray "

The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." - Marilyn Monroe

"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left." - Marilyn Monroe

"When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them" - Marilyn Monroe

"Let your haters be your motivators" - Anonymous

"There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life today" - Angelina Jolie

"I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within these compounds, and it's up to me." - Brad Pitt

The Power of a Smile by Tupac Shakur

The power of a gun can kill

The power of fire can burn

The power of wind can chill

The power of the mind can learn

The power of anger can rage

Inside until it tears you apart

But the power of a smile

Especially yours can heal a broken heart

"I'll trade wisdom for youth any day...it's a tragedy in the sense that any love involves loss, and that's the risk you take. And the greater the love, the greater the loss. But whatever the course may be, this time together is extraordinary."
- Brad Pitt
