to the spot where our elbows are
touching."

Quote of the Day

- Sidney Sheldon

Quote of the Day

"The library is the worst group of people ever assembled in history. They're mean, conniving, rude, and extremely well read, which makes them very dangerous. They're like a biker gang. But instead of shotguns and crystal meth, they use political savvy...and shushing."
- Leslie Knope, Parks and Recreation 2.08

Quote of the Day

“Shoulda, coulda, woulda. It's so easy in the past tense.”
- Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

Quote of the Day

“I didn’t know what to call it, what was happening between us, but I liked it. It felt silly and fragile and good.”
- Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Quote of the Day

"For me, motivation is this horrible, scary game where I try to make myself do something while I actively avoid doing it. If I win, I have to do something I don't want to do. And if I lose, I'm one step closer to ruining my entire life. And I never know whether I'm going to win or lose until the last second."
- Allie Brosh, Hyperbole and a Half

Quote of the Day

"I love a good nap. Sometimes it's the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning."
- George, Seinfeld 8.18

Quote of the Day

"I hate the idea that, when it comes to books and learning, hard is often seen as the opposite of fun. It's strange to me that we should be so quick to give up on a book or a math problem when we are so willing to grapple, for centuries if necessary, with a single level of Angry Birds."
- John Green

Quote of the Day

"If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives."
- Lemony Snicket

Quote of the Day

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."
- 1 Peter 3:3-4

Quote of the Day

"Whatever the present moment contains, embrace it as if you had chosen it."
- Eckhardt Tolle

Quote of the Day

"Fear and shame are the backbone of my self-control. They are my source of inspiration, my insurance against becoming entirely unacceptable. They help me do the right thing. And I am terrified of what I would be without them. Because I suspect that, left to my own devices, I would completely lose control of my life."
- Allie Brosh, Hyperbole and a Half

Quote of the Day

"Playing coy is silly. Speak your mind. If a man gets turned off, he's the wrong man."
- Mila Kunis

Quote of the Day

"Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don't have to be like, 'Oh yeah that purse is okay' or like, 'Yeah, I like that band's early stuff.' Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they are saying is, 'You like stuff,' which is just not a good insult at all, like 'You are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness."
- John Green

Quote of the Day

"Look closely at the present you are constructing: it should look like the future you are dreaming."

"Have you ever had one of those days where nothing all that monumental happens, but by the end of it you have no idea who you are anymore or what the hell you're doing with your life?"
- Robin, How I Met Your Mother 1.18

Quote of the Day

"'Everyone in the United States who is in any way attractive or desirable is now happily coupled with a significant other,' said Census Bureau deputy director Nancy Potok. 'The remaining single people out there have been deemed entirely unappealing by all potential mates. If you’re not in a relationship now, you never will be. Our research has confirmed that some people in this world simply don’t deserve love.'"
- The Onion, "Nation Finishes Romantically Pairing Off Except For The Losers" (via)

Quote of the Day

"People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don't think that's true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world."

Quote of the Day

"And if I hadn't come now to the coast to disappear
I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears"
