It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears.
Its a world of hope, its a world of fear.
Theres so much that we share,
that its time we’re aware
it's a small world after all.



"Did you know that the heart has no pain receptor? So the next time that someone breaks you heart, move on. Your pain is just an illusion, a temporary psychological disturbance that you have to overcome. In short it’s all in the mind"



"When you breathe, you inhale and you exhale, but every single time that you do you’re a little bit different then the one before. We’re always changing. And its important to know that there are some changes you can’t control and that there are others you can."




"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here." -Richard Dawkins



"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
Fortune favors the bold.
While it is better to be lucky than good, being both is best.
Sometimes, the luckiest person is just the best scorekeeper."




" Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

That giraffe picture just might be the best picture I've ever seen in my whole life ever.

I always thought Hitchens was the one who had the most verbal talent. Having never read that Dawkins quote before, I'm shocked that the man is capable of producing such beautiful prose. I must give him more credit as a writer now!
