“Sleep is pain's easiest salve, and doth fulfill all the offices of death, except to kill”
John Donne
(This quote reminds me of my best friend when we were studying for As. Before anyone runs off with the wrong idea, she's alive and well. In fact, she will be graduating soon. This quote reminds me of her because she often sleeps whenever she's stressed. =3)

[Warning: There are spoilers in the post. Very small ones.]
Initially, I wasn't sure how my friend got the Bella Edward comparison when she watched the movie. Looking back at the quotes, I think I know why. It was a bit like reverse twilight. Yeah, I think my friend hinted as much. The female protagonist was stronger than the male protagonist.
Abby: Owen, do you like me?
Owen: Yeah. A lot.
Abby: Would you still like me... even if I wasn't a girl?
Owen: What do you mean? I don't know. I guess. Why?
Abby: No reason.
----------------
Owen: How old are you?
Abby: Twelve... more or less. How old are you?
Owen: Twelve years, eight months, and nine days.

“My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual”
Phyllis Diller
This I've got to try. I have been feeling more and more frustrated recently... I want to rant, but some places aren't appropriate.

“Art is never finished, only abandoned.”
Leonardo da Vinci
Comments:
I love collecting quotes, but sometimes it's a little hard to believe that these people actually said them. Leonardo Da Vinci is a good example. Didn't he die in 1519? Phew, I stopped myself from using the word 'like'.
"Like" was one of the more annoying words according to the U.S.-based Marist poll.
Quoting the Montreal Gazette:
"Thirty-nine per cent of the 1,020 American adults polled said they found the word most irritating, followed by "like" (28 per cent) and "you know what I mean" (15 per cent).
The most annoying word is ...
*drum rolls*
Whatever! =D

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.” Gloria Naylor Comments: I never got round to sitting down and reading the 'Art of War'. I sincerely doubt I ever will. Almost anything can be an art nowadays. I guess I wouldn't mind mastering the 'Art of Friendship'. It's a life time commitment.  |

“We have an enormous fixation on, what seems to me to be, the naïve idea that truth resides in what somebody wrote sometime in the past. If it's not written down, it isn't true. And that's absurd. But it's the way historians are trained: you have to have a source, and if you don't have something you can cite from an original source, in the original language, then you're not a really good historian, you're are not scientific, you're not true .”
William H. McNeill
