61 " When you are used to the kind of life -of never getting anything you want- you stop knowing what it is you want. "

― Haruki Murakami , The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

62 " You’re only poor if you give up. The most important thing is that you did something. Most people only talk and dream of getting rich. You’ve done something. "

― Robert T. Kiyosaki , Rich Dad, Poor Dad

63 " To have regret is to be disappointed with yourself and your choices. Those who are wise, see their life like stepping stones across a great river. Everyone misses a stone from time to time. No one can cross the river without getting wet. Success is measured by your arrival on the other side, not on how muddy your shoes are. Regrets are only felt by those who do not understand life’s purpose. They become so disillusioned that they stand still in the river and do not take the next leap. "

― Colleen Houck

64 " Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger.

"

― Dalai Lama XIV

65 " Most people think happiness is about gaining something, but it's not. It's all about getting rid of the darkness you accumulate. "

― Carolyn Crane , Double Cross (The Disillusionists #2)

66 " The first thing you have to know about writing is that it is something you must do everyday. There are two reasons for this rule: Getting the work done and connecting with your unconscious mind. "

― Walter Mosley

67 " You don't have to make something that people call art. Living is an artistic activity, there is an art to getting through the day. "

― Viggo Mortensen

68 " Death: " THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN ALCOHOL, ALBERT." Albert: " Oh, yes, sir. But alcohol sort of compensates for not getting them. "

69 " How're we getting to King's Cross tomorrow, Dad?" asked Fred as they dug into a sumptuous pudding." The Ministry's providing a couple of cars," said Mr. Weasley.Everyone looked up at him." Why?" said Percy curiously." It's because of you, Perce," said George seriously. " And there'll be little flags on the hoods, with HB on them-" " -for Humongous Bighead," said Fred. "

70 " He turned to Frank who was trying to pull his fingers out of the Chinese handcuffs…
“Okay,” Frank relented. “Sure.” He frowned at his fingers, trying to pull them out of the trap. “Uh, how do you—”
Leo chuckled. “Man, you’ve never seen those before? There’s a simple trick to getting out.”
Frank tugged again with no luck. Even Hazel was trying not to laugh.
Frank grimaced with concentration. Suddenly, he disappeared. On the deck where he’d been standing, a green iguana crouched next to an empty set of Chinese handcuffs.
“Well done, Frank Zhang,” Leo said dryly, doing his impression of Chiron the centaur. “That is exactly how people beat Chinese handcuffs. They turn into iguanas. "

71 " I know that David Tennant's Hamlet isn't till July. And lots of people are going to be doing Dr Who in Hamlet jokes, so this is just me getting it out of the way early, to avoid the rush..." To be, or not to be, that is the question. Weeelll.... More of A question really. Not THE question. Because, well, I mean, there are billions and billions of questions out there, and well, when I say billions, I mean, when you add in the answers, not just the questions, weeelll, you're looking at numbers that are positively astronomical and... for that matter the other question is what you lot are doing on this planet in the first place, and er, did anyone try just pushing this little red button? "

72 " It's okay," I said soothingly. " You're just getting your stride back. Once you're up to full power, I'll go crack a rib or something so we can test it." She groaned. " The horrible part is that I don't think you're joking. "

73 " You sneaked into my cabin?”
Annabeth rolled her eyes. “Percy, you’ll be seventeen in two months. You can’t seriously be worried about getting in trouble with Coach Hedge.”
“Uh, have you seen his baseball bat?”
“Besides, Seaweed Brain, I just thought we could take a walk. We haven’t had any time to be together alone. I want to show you something—my favorite place aboard the ship.”
Percy’s pulse was still in overdrive, but it wasn’t from fear of getting in trouble. “Can I, you know, brush my teeth first?”
“You'd better,” Annabeth said. “Because I’m not kissing you until you do. And brush your hair while you’re at it. "

― Rick Riordan , The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus, #3)

74 " Why is it that all cars are women?" he asked. " Because they're fussy and demanding," answered Zee. " Because if they were men, they'd sit around and complain instead of getting the job done," I told him. "

75 " Whoa. Fangs. She had fangs.

She leaned in, prodded them a little. Eating with those puppies was going to take some getting used to, she thought.

On impulse, she brought up her hands, turned her fingers into claws. Hissed.

Cool. "

― J.R. Ward , Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #1)

76 " -BDB on the board-Knitter's AnonimousMay 8, 2006Rhage (in his bedroom posting in V's room on the board)Hi, my name is V.(" Hi, V" )I've been knitting for 125 years now.(*gasping noises*)It's begun to impact my personal relationships: my brothers think I'm a nancy. It's begun to affect my health: I'm getting a callus on my forefinger and I find bits of yarn in all my pockets and I'm starting to smell like wool. I can't concentrate at work: I keep picturing all these lessers in Irish sweaters and thick socks.(*sounds of sympathy*)I've come seeking a community of people who, like me, are trying not to knit. Can you help me?(*We're with you*)Thank you (*takes out hand-knitted hankie in pink*)(*sniffles*)(" We embrace you, V" )Vishous (in the pit): Oh hell no...you did not just put that up. And nice spelling in the title. Man...you just have to roll up on me, don't you. I got four words for you, my brother.Rhage: Four words? Okay...lemme see... Rhage, you're so sexy.hmmm....Rhage, you're SO smart. No wait! Rhage, you're SO right! That's it, isn't it...g'head. You can tell me. Vishous: First one starts with a " P" Use your head for the other three. Bastard.Rhage: P? Hmm... Please pass the yarnVishous: Payback is a bitch!Rhage: OhhhhhhhhhhhhI'm so scuuuuuurred. Can you whip me up a blanket to hide under? "

77 " Sissy Mae Smith...stumbled into the room loaded down with even more bags. " You pack like a woman," she snarled when she finally dropped the luggage to the floor. " How can one man have so much conditioner?" His mouth filled with French toast, Mitch pointed at his hair and snarled, " Tawny mane! Do you think this shit stays this beautiful on its own? It needs care and love! Which is more than I'm getting from you! "

78 " I didn't realize there was a ranking." I said. " Sadie frowned. " What do you mean?" " A ranking," I said. " You know, what's crazier than what." " Oh, sure there is," Sadie said. She sat back in her chair. " First you have your generic depressives. They're a dime a dozen and usually pretty boring. Then you've got the bulimics and the anorexics. They're slightly more interesting, although usually they're just girls with nothing better to do. Then you start getting into the good stuff: the arsonists, the schizophrenics, the manic-depressives. You can never quite tell what those will do. And then you've got the junkies. They're completely tragic, because chances are they're just going to go right back on the stuff when they're out of here." " So junkies are at the top of the crazy chain," I said. Sadie shook her head. " Uh-uh," she said. " Suicides are." I looked at her. " Why?" " Anyone can be crazy," she answered. " That's usually just because there's something screwed up in your wiring, you know? But suicide is a whole different thing. I mean, how much do you have to hate yourself to want to just wipe yourself out? "

79 " You show me a lazy prick who's lying in bed all day, watching TV, only occasionally getting up to piss, and I'll show you a guy who's not causing any trouble. "

― George Carlin , Brain Droppings

80 " Do you love him?" There were only a few people in the world who could ask me such insanely personal questions without getting punched. Dimitri was one of them. "
