Before It's Too Late Quote I

And the risk that might break you

Is the one that would save.

A life you don't live is still lost.

So stand on the edge with me,

Hold back your fear and see

Nothing is real 'til it's gone.

And hold on before it's too late.

We'll run 'til we leave this behind.

Don't fall, just be who you are,

It's all that we need in our lives.

So live like you mean it,

Love 'til you feel it,

It's all that we need in our lives

So stand on the edge with me,

Hold back your fear and see,

Nothing is real 'til it's gone.

-Before It's Too Late by The Goo Goo Dolls

If someone understands, good. If not, then no matter. Go right on doing what you love.

Keep A-Goin' by Frank L. Stanton

If you strike a thorn or rose,

Keep a-goin'!

If it hails or if it snows,

Keep a-goin'!

'Taint no use to sit an' whine

When the fish ain't on your line;

Bait your hook an' keep a-tryin'--

Keep a-goin'!

When the weather kills your crop,

Keep a-goin'!

Though 'tis work to reach the top,

Keep a-goin'!

S'pose you're out o' ev'ry dime,

Gittin' broke ain't any crime;

Tell the world you're feelin' prime--

Keep a-goin'!

When it looks like all is up,

Keep a-goin'!

Drain the sweetness from the cup,

Keep a-goin'!

See the wild birds on the wing,

Hear the bells that sweetly ring,

When you feel like singin', sing--

Keep a-goin'!

Anywhere Is Quote I

It's either this or that way,

it's one way or the other.

It should be one direction,

It could be on reflection.

The turn I have just taken,

the turn that I was making,

I might be just beginning.

I might be near the end.

-Anywhere Is by Enya

Maddigan's Fantasia Quote I

"Hey, I'm watching you," he blurted out, and then wished he had stayed silent. Timon turned, half grinning. The grin would look friendly to anyone passing-just two boys having a bit of fun together-but Boomer knew there was nothing friendly anout it.
"What did you say?" asked Timon.
"I said I was watching you," mumbled Boomer. "I know about you."
"What do you know?" asked Timon.
Boomer took a breath. "I know the truth," he said.
Timon laughed. "Clever you!" he said. "But what's truth, anyway? It's too mixed up for anyone as little and simple as you are. And you need real imagination to get any idea of truth. You'll never get anywhere near to understanding it."

-Maddigan's Fantasia, Margaret Mahy

So be sure where you step
Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life's
A Great Balancing Act.

Robinson Crusoe Quote I

From whence I have often since observed, how incongruous and irrational the common temper of mankind is, ecspecially of youth, to that reason which ought to guide them in such cases, viz., that they are not ashamed to sin, and yet are ashamed to repent; not ashamed of the action, for which they ought justly to be esteemed fools; but are ashamed of the returning, which only can make them be esteemed wise men.

-Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane Quote V

"I don't care if anyone comes for me," said Edward.
"But that's dreadful," said the old doll. "There's no point in going on if you feel that way. No point at all. You must be filled with expectancy. You must be awash in hope. You must wonder who will love you, whom you will love next."
"I’m done with being loved," Edward told her. "I’m done with loving. It’s too painful."
"Pish," said the old doll. "Where is your courage?"
"Somewhere else, I guess," said Edward.
"You disappoint me," she said. "You disappoint me greatly. If you have no intention of loving or being loved, then the whole journey is pointless."

-The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Kate DiCamillo

Brave Quote I

So long the status quo.
I think I just let go.
You make me want to be brave.
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave.

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey Quote I

"What's the point of any of this?" Crawlings said irritably. "He can't stop all of us and he knows it."
"He wants to give the children a head start," said McCracken. "But Crawlings's point is well taken, don't you think, Milligan? Really, now. You're wasting everyone's time. What's the use of prolonging the inevitable?"
"Maybe I enjoy it," Milligan said.
