Sir Winston Churchill

"Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it’s still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. But if you’re like me, you just keep chasing the storm."

Veronica Mars

"Many an atheist is a believer without knowing it, juast as many a believer is an ahteist without knowing it. You can sincerly believe theres is no God and act as if there is. You can sincerely believe there is a God and live as though there isn’t."
From the book "Searching for a God to Love" by Chris Blake

For believers "the atheist" in them is what pushes them to continually seek truth. i’m one of those. although the atheist is pretty strong sometimes. good quote though

Religion is a cult with more people

"When one is hurting, one wants something to show for it."

Maybe thats why we have so many hypochondriacs…

"The positive aspect…is that no matter where you come from, you can break out of that. If your mentality is right, if your drive is right, you can break out of that cycle."

"Don’t be racist with your laundry, forget about separating darks from whites."

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
