Add me over there, yeah?

Decided it was time for an updated username.

Just a few (or a lot) of quotes that make me happy and will hopefully make you at least a little happy too. Because everyone needs a little happiness and a little bit of inspiration.

"Ruffian was starting to run again, leading with her right leg, as she had been doing in the race, reaching with her head, slowly at first, not fully concious, then faster and faster, running down the backstretch once again, she was rolling now, picking up steam, everything was all right, that's all she had been asking - Let me run! - half a length in front of the colt, smoothly now, pulling steadily away, she had found her stride at last, she was opening up daylight, it was so simple, all she ever wanted was to run, morning or afternoon, that was all she ever asked - Let me run! - faster now and faster, finally released, no more bit in her mouth, no rider on her back, no cast, no pain, no terror anymore, she had pulled away from everything, she was flying, the sun blazed all around her, she was running easily now, easily, straight into the light, free."
- an account of Ruffian's final moments. This was quite possibly one of the most courageous fillies who ever lived.

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."
-Robert Frost

"True love comes in quietly, without banners or flashing lights, force or insanity. She is your sanity in a world full of madness. True love is not how grand you are or how simple you are, but it's who you are when you are with her and she loves you not in spite of it but because of it. She is the one who stands with you when the rest of the world falls down." -Tomas Wilde Fontain

"We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible to ours, we join up with them and fall into a mutually satisfying weirdness and call it love, true love."

And because Gilmore Girls always makes people happy (or at least, makes me happy):

Lorelai: Because my brain is a wild jungle full of scary gibberish…I’m writing a letter…I can’t write a letter…why can’t I write a letter?…I’m wearing a green dress…I wish I was wearing my blue dress…my blue dress is at the cleaners…the Germans wore grey…you wore blue…Casablanca, Casablanca…such a good movie…Casablanca…the White House…Bush…why don’t I drive a hybrid car?…I should really drive a hybrid car…I should really take my bicycle to work…bicycle, unicycle, unitard…hockey puck, rattle snake, monkey, monkey, underpants.
