1 " Sonya, as a scientist, it's never just about the logistics of life. One must always be optimistic, or else you'll never discover or learn anything new. Though of course, you might also find that such a mentality should never be restricted to such an occupation as mine. "
― Lauren Lola , An Absolute Mind
2 " If chasing a pipe dream means securing our freedom, then so be it. "
3 " There are a wide variety of freedoms; whether if it's to break away from drug addiction or government suppression. On a general scale, the one element all these types of freedoms share is the need to survive - however that may be. "
4 " No one can ever foresee the future Sonya. You can only judge what's up ahead based on the conditions of the present. Remember that. "
5 " America is a great country. We have a lot to be proud of, and a lot to look forward to being proud of. But let's not ever forget to look back into the past, learn from it, and embrace it, for to deny the past is a dark path to go down. "
6 " Sometimes, when you really want to get to know a person but have boundaries that prevent you from doing so, you learn about them as much as you can. "
7 " It's amazing how willingly one can tell to a new face, and how restrained one may be from telling a familiar one. "
8 " A chair can be more valuable in memories than, say, a precious gem. A gem could have no stories to share; no lives altered or changed in the slightest. It could remain buried beneath the earth for all we know and never have any memory to embody. A chair could transcend time and generations; from the people who sat in it and onlookers. It's all about considering what stories could be told if they had voices of their own. "
9 " I know what you might think; that being alone is a sign of loneliness. But the way I see it, sometimes being alone serves as a period of insight as to who you really are. Think about it. "
10 " Lay out your options, dismiss the ones that are of zero appeal, and focus on those that not only excite you, but make sense to you. "
11 " To be ordinary is a choice, for everyone has it in them to become extraordinary. "
12 " It was easy to conclude: The night was young and alive, in its ever so subtle way. "
13 " Time may be a man-made illusion, but it was one that worked at one's inconvenience. When one is urging time to move forward, it will resist and move slowly. When one wants time to go by slower than need be, it goes by on a whim. The only instance where time is at a medium pace is when time isn't even acknowledged at all as an essence to everyday existence. "
14 " They're funny things, legacies are. They can make a person's good-doings extend beyond his or her lifetime, and burden everyone else around who's related to live up to or better it. But they're always very important to maintain to the best of one's ability because that's as close to immortality one can get. "
15 " I believe that anytime someone messes with the mind, they mess with the soul. Historically they go hand-in-hand, for a long time ago, the word "mind" was another word for "soul". Contextually, people might not see the relationship between the mind and such events from the past and present, but there is a connection. They all involved tampering of the value of the mind. "
16 " It was frustrating to still be in the dark about something and be given only so little light. "
17 " Concentration can be difficult to obtain, but once one has a firm hold on it, then it can be difficult to let go. "
