Meaningful Quotes

Today was a good day. Tomorrow I have to pay rent, cause I didn't have a chance to go today and its technically due tomorrow anyways. After I pay rent, I am going to Zumba with Katie! :) Sooooo happy to be working out again!! :) Gonna kick this cyst's butt and get healthy on my own!

I don't have much to say tonight. So, here are some meaningful quotes I thought ya'll might enjoy.

-- Groucho Marx

BUT this one I wish for all to read in depth, it is one I read and pondered on alongside my Senior English class. I encourage you to read more into the text this came from as well. There were many things I didn't enjoy that we read in that English class, but I learned so much from all the things I let in and was open to. Everything we read got a chance in my mind, even if it was only one chance and then was pushed aside. I ask, challenge, and encourage everyone to find new texts to read that are, in reality, old. I learned more about humanity from the old texts and quotes then I have from the new, because the old showed that, in their heart and souls, humans have been the same in every society all through the centuries. Read. Ponder. Experience. Challenge. THINK
