xanthophyllippa: Go here and look through the random quotations until you find five that you think reflect who you are or what you believe. Repost them in your journal (with this information) and tag five friends to complete this meme.
Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.
Love the ones you can. Touch the ones you can reach. Let the others go.
What you cannot enforce, do not command.
Do not pursue what is illusory - property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and can be confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing.
What makes the engine go? Desire, desire, desire.
Tagging (provided they feel like playing)zagara, pixychelle, nsmom, marginaliana, and chazpure.
