If you know me at all, you know I like quotes. I'll post some now and then. The one I'm putting down today just seems to be a reminder of sorts... "There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in it's hands.
We seek problems because we need their gifts."
-Richard Bach (yes, I like Richard Bach quotes, you may see a lot of him...)

"Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life as well."
-Stephen King from "On Writing"

It's not really poetic, but it is one of my favorite quotes. It is not difficult to die for a friend, The difficulty is in finding a friend worth dieing for. -Anonymous

So I'm going to post some more. these are all quotes from Emma Frost, White Queen of the Hellfire club, o-headmistriss of Xaviers institute.
"...I know he lies beside her at night without touching her... I know she sees what he's thinking and despises him for his weakness... I know she's so pure and their love is so special, Logan... and I know I'm so shallow... and spiteful... and manipulative... I know because she saw right through me. She saw the truth and I had no defense... and she knows too. Why did I have to allow myself to become so stupid and vulnerable, Logan? Why did I have to fall in love with Scott bloody Summers?"- I really used to identify with this quote. I'm trying to get over it.
"I've tried it, of course... in the interest of science. I felt angelic and violently insane for five hours. I forsee trouble if this becomes widespread."- Regarding the drug Kick.
Ask the moms and dads in Stamford if they think Captain America's still fighting the good fight.-Iron Man Oh, please. Don't try to blackmail me with genocide. Do you really want to compare notes? Where were the Avengers when Genosha died, Iron Man? Where were you when our babies were burning?- Emma Frost

Very interesting stuff, yaoiboy. Did you know that "Iron Man" is a movie that should be coming out soon? Robert Downy Jr. is playing Iron Man.

Events of today inspired me to share this.... Don't be dismayed at goodbyes... a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
And meeting again after moments or lifetimes is certain for those who are friends.
-Richard Bach

Thought I'd start posting again, even if this one isn't my own stuff. It's a favourite section from the book "Illusions" by Richard Bach.
"We're magnets, aren't we? Not magnets. We're iron, wrapped in copper wire, and whenever we want to magnetize ourselves, we can. Pour our inner boltage through the wire, we can attract whatever we want to attract. A magnet is not anxious about it works. It is itself, and by it's nature it draws some things, and leaves others untouched.
"How do you do it you ask? You don't do anything. Cosmic law, remember: Like atrracts like. Just be who your are, calm and clear and bright. Automatically as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute is this what I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom have to learn, as well.
