Crayons, life, peace, heart, and dreams!


1. "Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you`re really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I`ve got a few missing. It`s ok though, because I`ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who`s an 8-color type.. I`m like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she`s like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I`m like, "no - I want magenta!" -John Mayer

I love this quote! I think it's really important to be colorful and have lots of emotions. People should express their selves more. Growing up is all about being unique while also being true to yourself. I think it is crucial that people understand how many more "colors" there are out there!

2.
"A life lived in love will never be dull." - Leo Buscaglia

This is a great quote because it is so important to love and be loved. Love is one of the main components of life and happiness. The feeling of love is so great and it feels even better to know you are there for someone and that you love them. I agree with this quote because love definitely makes you happier!

3. "Peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no trouble, noise, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." -Lady Gaga

I think this quote is amazing. I think in life you have to be peaceful. Without peace in your life, you would go crazy everyday. She is basically giving you her definition of peace. I love this definition because it is true and relates to everyone. I wish everything could be peaceful and filled with less stress.

4. "You're only as tall as your heart will let you be and you're only as small as the world will make you seem."-Christopher Drew

These are actually lyrics from a song by Christopher Drew. This is such great advice, though. If you believe in yourself, you can do anything. You have to decide who you want to be and who you will become. No one else can tell you how much influence you will have on the world and others!

5. "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." -James Dean

I love this quote because it expresses a great way of life. You should always dream for a better future. If everyone had hopes and dreams of becoming better, our society would become better. Also, you need to take risks sometimes. You should get done what you need to get done, as if you will not live another day.
