Just a couple of quotes and songs. 

"There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it." -Edith Wharton

"Keep love in your heart. a life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead." - Oscar Wilde
 
"Remembering that you're going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." -Steve Jobs 

"All is lost again...But i'm not giving in. I will not bow, i will not break. I will shut the world away. i will not fall, i will not fade. i will take your breath away." -Breaking Benjamin, I will not bow. 

"So break me down if it makes you feel right. And hate me now if it makes you alright. You can break me down if if takes all your might. Cause i'm much more than meets the eye." Seether, Truth. 

"All i really want is something beautiful to say, keep me locked up in your broken mind, i keep searching, never been able, to find a light behind your dead eyes, not anything at all. You keep living in your own lie, ever deceitful, and ever unfaithful. keep me guessing, keep me terrified, take everything from my world. say, can you help me right before the fall, take what you can and lead me to the wolves. keep me dumb, keep me paralyzed, why try swimming? i'm downing in fable. you're not that saint that you externalize, you're not anything at all. all i really want is something beautiful to say. It's oh so playful when you demonize, to spit out the hateful, you're willing and able. your words are weapons, of the terrified, you're nothing in my world. All i really want is something beautiful to say, keep me guessing, keep me terrified. All i really want is something beautiful to say, you're living in your own lie. All i really want is something beautiful to say, to never fade away, i wanna live forever. Keep me guessing, keep me terrified. all i really want is something beautiful to say." Seether, Words as Weapons.
