Inspiring Quotes

[Mesme Rize 15,681]

Easy thread. Write a quote from a person, that you feel very strong about. Person can be famous, fictional, or your family, dosen't matter.

 

I start with mine.

 

"I grew up with an alcoholic father. He never beat me, he never raised a hand against my mother or anything like that, but I'd seen enough stupid and ridiculous things between that, my mother and her prescription pills, and just hanging out with an older crowd when I was a kid, that I didn't understand a lot of the fun to what partying was, so I just never did it. I didn't understand waking up next to somebody you don't remember going to bed with; I didn't understand getting, you know, blackout drunk and not remembering the good times you have with your buddies; and I feel so strongly about it that I've just always been this way—it just made sense."

 

-Phil Brooks, AKA CM Punk

 

 

EDIT: The reason i pick this, is because i was also never the biggest party guy. I drink a bit of alcohol, but not that i get a blackout and remember nothing. You should cherish the moments you spend with your friends.

"If you look for the light, you can often find it.  But if you look for the dark that is all you will ever see" -Uncle Iroh, (Legend Of Korra A New Spiritual Age)

This quote from one of my favorite animated shows of all time showcases a type of philosophy and world view that is very relevant to today's society and something that I definitely 100% agree with.

If you are willing to give anything or anyone the benefit of doubt and compassion, chances are that you will find something to like about the new experience or person.  But if you like many people today don't and only look to seek out the negatives of life then you will leech on and target everything wrong with a person, show, movie, or society and humanity in general, chances are that you will continue to have a terrible time and be unable to enjoy yourself and others.

"Having more time on our hands doesn't mean we'll take a different road, find all the answers and change into the person we always hoped we could be. Our longing to have more time is completely natural but all we really have is now." - Marc Byrd

[creepypastaeater 256]

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle." - Steve Jobs

[HeroSparks 232]

From Captain America in Amazing Spider-man #537

Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move."

[Jaxsie (Inactive) 1,343]

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi

If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?
(Code Geass)

To become a monster like me, is to admit you were too weak to remain a human.
Alucard (Hellsing)

The world’s not perfect, but it’s there for us trying the best it can. That’s what makes it so damn beautiful.
Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Why must you insist on defining joy so narrowly? Where is the paradox in finding suffering and tragedy but other forms of pleasure? There is no one fixed type of joy. Your confusion derives from your failure to understand that.
Gilgamesh (Fate/Zero)

There’s no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can’t gain anything without losing something first although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah, a heart made fullmetal.
Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood)

I want to see the splendor of people’s souls. I want to check and see if it really is precious. However, when humans base their lives around Sybil’s Oracle, without ever consulting their own wills, do they really hold any value? Shogo Makishima (Psycho-Pass)

You can play any character and yet in the end, you yourself are nobody. Your core personality is null. It’s empty. That’s how you could wear any mask all over your smooth, featureless face and have it fit perfectly. Shogo Makishima (Psycho-Pass)

and my own personal qoute: Justice is blind, there will always be evil there will always be good we are just blind to see them the way they are...

Trisha Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood <3

 

"We will change, because we can change. I know it. We may be weak, but we just have to be. If not, then we wouldn't have any reason to grow, to get strong. I know that it may seem futile to you, but it's not, because we are getting stronger with every step we take. You see? I'm sure we can change. Because we're weak, and because we die. We have to fight in order to live, and that's what will make us strong!"

[Jeremiah 1,586]
