"If I had known the way that this would end,If I had read the last page first,If I had had the strength to walk away,If I had known how this would hurt,I would've loved u anyway.I'd do it all the same,Not a second I would change, Not a touch that I would trade. Had I known my heart would break, I would've loved you anyway.It's bittersweet to look back now At memories withered on the vine.And just to hold you close to me For a moment in time.And even if I'd seen it coming, You'd still have seen me running Straight into your arms. I would've loved you anyway.I'd do it all the same,Not a second I would change,Not a touch that I would trade. Had I known my heart would break, I would've loved you anyway. I would've loved you anyway. "

"Love isn't being perfect, it's learning how to look past the imperfections."
"Never say I love you if it isn't really there. Never talk about feelings if you really don't care. Never hold my hand if u'r gonna break my heart. Never say you are gonna If u dont plan to start. Never look into my eyes and all you do is lie. Never say hello If you really mean goodbye. If you really mean forever Then please say you'll try .. Never say forever.. Because forever makes me cry..

"one thing i don't know how it doesn't even matter when you look at it now, because when i designed this rhyme i was scared of it all scared to fall, i hadn't even tried to crawl, and i was forced to run, with you mocking me... stopping me, back stabbing me constantly
remembering all those times you fought with me, watch the clock now chop full of hypocrisy, and now your mouth wishes it could inhale every single little thing you said and make it expel, every single word you sputter just to get your piece, but it really doesn't matter to me, because from the start to the end no matter what i pretend the journey is more important than the end or the start , and what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of the time when i tried so hard..." --Enth E Nd (Linkin Park)

"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose your feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To put your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss.. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. Persons who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, and are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, or live. Only a person who risks is free."

"To be the champ, you have to be the champ every day. Don't let the best you can do get between you and the awards dock. We have a decision to make. We can come out here every day and do what it takes to win, or we can do less than that. It's going to be tough, but when it's over, coaches are going to be sitting at their desks wondering what we were doing for practice all season."
"We cannot be satisfied by simply doing our best. We want to be "the best." To accept all challenges and emerge as the victors. There's a huge difference in preparing to be "your best" and preparing to be "the best." Don't be your own limiting factor. Don't row as hard as you can or set the boat up better than you ever have before. Row as hard as anyone can and set the boat up better than anyone ever has. When you're striving to be the best, there are no excuses, no limits. There are only obstacles to overcome. If you're the best, you're going to find a way around the problems that you previously accepted as walls between you and success. "We did our best" is no longer a limitation. You'll find you can do much better than that."

"It's like in the great stories. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding on to something." --Lord of the Rings: Two Towers

"Races are won by those who refuse to be beaten."
"In the early months of training you're thinking 'What the hell is all this for?' Because the race is so far off. There's so much tedium and discipline and brutal effort to hammer through. You have to resist the subconsious desire to put an end to all this self-inflicted hardship. But as the days pass and you feel yourself getting stronger, you begin to live for the next day. You punish yourself if with a will in training, because you know you're facing a race that will suspend your life. Somewhere in the race, you will find out what it is you've been working for. And your asking big questions of your body, and when the right answers are coming back, it's a feeling you know you will never forget." --Dan Topolski

"Why would anyone want to get up at the ass-crack of dawn only to fill their bodies with pain? While being yelled at by some person with a God-type complex as you get splashed in the face with polluted water by the damn person in front of you, as you sit on your ass going backwards of all ways. Only idiots would do such things!.... I'll see you at 5 in the morning."
