I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

&ldquo;I believe in everything until it&#039;s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it&#039;s in your mind. Who&#039;s to say that dreams and nightmares aren&#039;t as real as the here and now?&rdquo;<br /> -John Lennon

&#039;Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.&#039;<br /> ― Virginia Woolf, &#039;A Room of One&#039;s Own&#039;

&quot;You will be the happiest of women. And we shall sing, all by ourselves, til we swoon with delight! You&#039;re crying! You&#039;re afraid of me! And yet I am not really wicked. Love me and you shall see! All I wanted was to be loved for myself.&quot;
