mY FaVoURiTe QuOTeS: ParT 2 !!!!

Language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone, and the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.

You get what you get and it has got nothing to do with what you deserve.

I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every three Indians are suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your two best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.

If there is one thing worse than being an ugly duckling in a house of swans, it's having the swans pretend there's no difference.

A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.

This 3-year-old kid is home alone, and a salesman comes to the door. The kid answers, and he’s got a porno in one hand, a cigar in one hand and a bottle of J.D. The salesman goes, “Hi, little boy, are your parents home?” The kid goes, “What the f**k do you think?”

Memories

"Memories are powerful. They can give you comapny when alone and leave you alone even in a crowd."

Seems just like a quote straight out of a greeting card. But then its true. Having experienced both of these, I am pretty certain that its true. If you don't beleive me then check out Harry Potter use them in fighting the Dementors. Jokes apart, why are memories more powerful, especially the ones that are bad. For example, if you are chased by a dog once, then you can be rest assured that you would remember it for a long long time to come. On the other hand good memories are also kind of lingering in their own way. But in honest truth, I believe that memories tend to linger longer that one realises and many actions/reactions and feelings are governed by our memories of any previous encounter with any object/situation. Hence the adage, one bitten twice shy.

But what to do about people who are like hopeless. who are like irreparably damaged and for whom memories form the last thread of hope left and to which they cling as close and hard as they would to their own life. Then the memories both good and bad are a prison from which there is no escape. After all where does one escape from themselves? At these times it would be nice to have selective amnesia. :-p

I really dont know what I am writing and in all honesty, I do not care.

Dreams / Nightmares

Everybody dreams and so do I. Everybody doesn't remember their dreams but I do. Just the way 'the end justifies the means', the way the dreams ends says it all. oneirologists or dream doctors argue that dreams could be related to what you are, what you think and what you feel. Then again what do doctors know, its all hit and trial for them. Anyways this isn't about them. It is about me and my dreams. I dream not of stars or princesses or fame or money. What I dream about are people who I know, love and also those I lost. Strangely I also see people whom I have never met or seen (atleast my conscious mind tells me that I have not). So i like to believe that I see the past and the future. The past in a way that show me parallels of what happened and hence show me what could have happened if I had done things differently. But what eludes me is the future, is it going to be what I see. Most of my dreams end with me waking up with a frown on my face and sweat on my forehead. But they are not nightmares, they are just dreams with sad/bad endings. And I look forward to the people that I am going to meet in the future, the people who would change my life, though I also think that the people of my past have had a huge impact on me. There are no good dreams or nightmares. They are just dreams.

Waking up.

I was never good at waking up. I was never the rise and shine kind of guy. It was always an ardous task to wake up. But it's been a while since waking up seems to hurt. It physically hurts to get up to the cold realisation of something missing. As i have already mentioned, it just doesn't seem to get any better with time either. I mean there must be a way to wake up with a smile, to wake up looking forward to the day and to wake up with no pain.
