My old book....

I recently pulled out an old "journal" of poems, songs, quotes, rhymes, cards, etc. It's interesting to see the progression, my change in thinking over the different events, and how much there is in it that still means so much to me.
There is 1 thing that really does have bearing over my life, and all of you in it, and yeah, I'm pretty aware of my eccentricities, so I know how true it can be to many of you.

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves."
- Victor Hugo

Here's also a couple Dr Seuss Quotes I'll be adding, I'm looking for a non-childrens book if anyone happens across one!
- “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
- “Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”
- “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
- “I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
- “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” (wow, right from my Dad's mouth!)
- “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”
- “Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way.”
