  • "The average person is a stupid, judgmental cactus. Just keep to yourself and step around them." -Dad
    • This is an excerpt from some advice my father gave me awhile back, when I was feeling like I didn't fit in with the girls around me, that I wasn't 'picture perfect' enough. It's stuck with me ever since.
  • "An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke." -F Scott Fitzgerald
    • As someone who loves writing, I love this quote. Although it might be because it is said by my favourite classic American author.
  • "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -Voltaire
    • I like to think this could be my motto if I joinied the military.
  • "You can't fall in the hole unless you're standing on the edge." -Holly Smith
    • This was a very hard-hitting, well explained piece of advice given to me by Holly, one of my leaders. I always remember it, and it has always stood true.
  • "I never saved anything for the swim back." -Gattaca
    • You have to have seen the movie to get why this quote is so meaningful, but I love it.
  • "Guys are jerks, and girls are stupid." -Mom
    • Some of the most simple, wise counsel I have ever heard, courtesy of my mother.
  • "Don't let the calendar dictate your mood." -Russ Porter
    • This is a theory I actually took to heart and now try to apply to my life. No more bad-mood-because-its-monday attitude. Thanks to one of my favourite teachers.
  • "WINNING!" -Charlie Sheen
    • This one doesn't really mean anything to me, I just want to remember it. I want to be able to show my children old episodes of Two and a Half Men and tell them about how Charlie Sheen is completely off his cracker.
  • "You're alive and well." -Nathaniel Lane
    • Nate reminds me of this every time I complain about how life sucks. He definitely has a point.
  • "Never trouble trouble, til trouble troubles you, you'll only double trouble, and trouble others too." -Fred Aubery
    • Fred is my great-grandfather. I've never met him, but apparently he used to say this all the time and I've grown to really like it.
