6,7

I have noticed that the quotes and About Me section on Facebook has changed significantly such that I can't forking see it anymore unless I go in to edit it. I miss seeing it on other peoples' profiles and I was (and am) the type of earnest elder emo kid that curated the hell out of those quotes. So I'm going to put them here. Just in case. In case what? I don't know.

"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters." - Norman MacLean

"But as Deepak Chopra taught us, quantum physics means that anything can happen at anytime and for no reason. Also, eat plenty of oatmeal, and animals never had a war! Who is the real animal?"  - Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth, Futurama

"Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything!" - Capt. Turanga Leela, Futurama 

"So? Everyone wants stuff, we wake up every day with list of wishes a mile long and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true, but just because we want them doesn’t mean we need them to be happy." - Ned, Pushing Daisies

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." - Plato

"There's a way 'round most things, darling.  And there's more to life than they let on." - Sarah, Upstairs, Downstairs

"Don't Panic." - Douglas Adams

"The medium is the message."  - Marshall McLuhan

"People just ain't no good." - Nick Cave

"Don't hesitate.  Tomorrow may never come.  Don't sleep in late.  Tomorrow is not Saturday." - Colin Hay

"Her heart's in the right place; I think she's just off her meds." - Bette Porter, The L Word

"Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!" - Ms. Frizzle

"All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well." - Julian of Norwich

"Life is pain, highness.  Anyone who says differently is selling something." - The Dread Pirate Roberts

"What the HELL are you talking about Clare?" - Ro Sanches

"When shit brings you down, just say 'fuck it', and eat yourself some motherfucking candy, motherfucker.”  - David Sedaris

"As she dabbed each tiny plastic cup into her eyes she reflected that if there was one thing life had taught her it was that there are times when you do not go back for your bag and other times when you do. It had yet to teach her to distinguish between the two types of occasion."  - Douglas Adams

“Nothing’s ever lost forever. It’s just caught inside the cushions of your couch and when you find it you’ll have such a nice surprise. Nothing’s ever lost forever. It’s just hiding in the recess of your mind and when you need it it will come to you at night. No one’s ever lost forever. When they die they go away but they will visit you occasionally. Do not be afraid. No one’s ever lost forever. They are caught inside your heart. If you garden them and water them they make you what you are.” - Amanda Palmer

“Let’s face it. We’re undone by each other. And if we’re not, we’re missing something. If this seems so clearly the case with grief, it is only because it was already the case with desire. One does not always stay intact. It may be that one wants to, or does, but it may also be that despite one’s best efforts, one is undone, in the face of the other, by the touch, by the scent, by the feel, by the prospect of touch, by the memory of the feel.” - Judith Butler

“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.” - Virginia Woolf

"The point being, that even in the contest between man and steer...the issue is not certain." - The Coen Brothers

"Stabilize proximally, mobilize distally." - OTs everywhere

"We teach best what we most need to learn." - Richard Bach 

My about me section is (was?) almost always five Youtube videos that changed ~2x per year. I suppose I should stop doing that. Or maybe not. It was kind of like an Easter egg for just me? But here are the most recent five. I guess.
