Sorry for a bit of cheating---it's not exactly a quotation, but still my most favourite line,I take it sort of an axiom for my personal schooling.

Meant to respond last night. I have many.

I'll just post them as I remember them.

'Live by the Sun, love by the moon'
-Unknown

'I have the heart of a lion, but it beats like a hummingbird.' (!!)
-Unknown

'When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calendar that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from the chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table. I spent my life learning to feel less. Every day I felt less. Is that growing old? Or is it something worse? You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.'

"I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak, my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say"

'The world is my dinosaur; all teeth & talons & unable to walk on a leash.'
Anonymous

"Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem."
Lauryn Hill

'A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.'
Robert A. Heinlein

"Where there is love there is life."
Gandhi

"Neurosis only attaches itself to fertile ground, where it can flourish."
Bjork

"A persons a person, no matter how small" (I'm pretty sure I like this quote because I'm 5ft/60cm tall on a good day)
Dr. Seuss

"After the game, the king and pawn go into the same box."
Italian Proverb

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the —universe,?? a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few people near us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
— Albert Einstein

I've been floating in a dream, while fighting against reality. I've learned that the key to a better life meant living with no formality. —
-Myself.
