    Mine is: Even if you are on the right road if you sit there you will get run over.:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:

    The quote, "I am the Walrus" somehow motivates me. Weird I know, but consider under the context of someone is towering over me, and making me feel really bad...then I just say to myself, "I am the Walrus" and it's powering somehow? Well listening to the song...(Bono version in ATU in the better version..and version that inspires me..) and not really saying is what keeps me going.

    LOL. Thanks Beetles for making me think I am insane. :eusa_danc

    "In the world there are two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it"
    - Oscar Wilde

    "There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it"
    - George Bernard Shaw

    Can't believe Shaw paraphrased Wilde! Still admire him though.

    You mean, did Kurt Cobain blatantly rip off Gide?

    Yes, yes he did.
