"I mean, I didn't get the answer I wanted. But it didn't keep me from keeping on."
-Haylie Reinhardt, one of the Top-24 contestants on American Idol who was cut last season
They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I've been told ...
This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
'Cause you're not where you belong ...
I still believe in summer days
The seasons always change
And life will find a way
-"Wintersong" by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michalson
"Have fables fallen so far out of fashion that the Princesses have to do everything themselves? Call us old school, but sometimes the Fairy Tale ending requires the Knight to get off his ass and saddle up his steed."
-from Gossip Girl (Episode 1.06, The Handmaiden's Tale)
"In the beginning, there was no baseball. But ever since, there have been few beginnings as good as the start of baseball season. It is the most splendid time in sport."
-written by B.J. Phillips, but read by Dan Dickerson over the radio to start the Tigers spring training home-opener
"I believe in the good ... I believe that believing we survive is what makes us survive."
-said by Izzie on Grey's Anatomy (Episode 3.16, Drowning on Dry Land)
"Every year has it's own story, it's own little twist to it."
-Brennan Boesch
"It's less fatiguing if you stay balanced with your mind frame, and don't get too high or low, and that's definitely something I'm toying around with."
-Brennan Boesch
"Pressure is relative. There's pressure on everyone here. Everyone has their own idea of what they want to accomplish, what they want to do."
-Brennan Boesch
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
-"Blackbird" by the Beatles
"I hope you end up caring about Bree as much as I do, though that's kind of a cruel wish. You know this: it doesn't end well for her. But at least you will know the whole story. And that no perspective is ever really trivial."
-Stephenie Meyer's introduction to The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

an invincible summer
It's been awhile ... Here are some new favorites ... :)
Keep drinking coffee, staring me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able,
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time,
Try not to waste anymore of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to say
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me,
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be,
Who died and made you king of anything?
-"King of Anything" by Sara Bareilles
"I finally learned that there lay within me an invincible summer."
-Albert Camus
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
-"September" by Daughtry
"Sometimes in life, there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding. But there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you, sometimes better than you know yourself, is the same person who's been standing beside you all along."
-from Bride Wars
Mmm, and come September,
Mmm, I will remember,
Mmm, my camping days and friendships true.
Mmm, and as the years go by,
Mmm, I'll think of you and sigh,
Mmm, this is goodnight and not goodbye
-"Linger" (a camp song)
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
Up on the meadow, water somewhere
We were the only ones there
Wild horses rushing, dry lakes and peaks
Finding the love that everyone seeks
Hiking to rainbows, sunsets and stars
Finding out just who we are
We will return here
One lucky day
Our hearts will guide us
They know the way
People and cities don't understand
Falling in love with the land
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
Out on the meadow, water somewhere
With you my friend, we were there
-"Moon on the Meadow" (a camp song)
"At the end of a day like this, a day when so many prayers are answered and so many aren't, we take our miracles where we find them. We reach across the gap and sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we touch ..."
-from "Grey's Anatomy" (Season 3, Episode 17 - Some Kind of Miracle)
"For thousands of years, you humans have been throwing in everything you come across -- hopes, dreams, wishes that never came true. Irresponsible waste management, if you ask me."
-from Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (Book 1) by Rick Riordan

through it all just stand up ...
The heart is stronger than you think
Lit it could go through anything
And even when you think it can't
It finds a way to still push on through
Sometimes you want to run away
Ain't got the patience for the pain
And if you don't believe it, look into your heart
The beat goes on
I'm telling you things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don't let up
Don't you know you can go be your own miracle
You need to know
If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don't give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what?
Don't give up, through it all just stand up
... You don't gotta be a prisoner in your mind
If you fall, dust if off, you can live your life
Yeah, let your heart be your guide
-"Just Stand Up" by Various Artists (compilation)
"Time takes pleasure in kicking our asses. For even the strongest of us, it seems to play tricks. Slowing down, hovering, until it freezes, leaving us stuck in a moment, unable to move in one direction or the other. ... Time flies. Time waits for no man. time heals all wounds. All any of us want is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time."
-from Grey's Anatomy, Episode 3.1 (The Time Has Come Today)
"You know, I've faced adversity before, and the only way to get through something tough is to keep working hard."
-Brennan Boesch
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-Robert Frost (and also, the opening passage for Eclipse, by Stephenie Meyer)
In regards to the novel Wuthering Heights:
"'Honestly, though, why do you read it over and over?' His eyes were vivid with real interest, now, trying - again - to unravel the convoluted workings of my mind. He reached across the table to cradle my face in his hand. 'What is it that appeals to you?' His sincere curiosity diarmed me. 'I'm not sure,"I said, scrambling for coherency while his gaze unintentionally scattered my thoughts. 'I think it's something about the inevitability. How nothing can keep them apart - not her selfishness, or his evil, or even death, in the end ...' His face was thoughtful as he considered my words. After a moment he smiled a teasing smile. 'I still think it would be a better story if either of them had one redeeming quality. 'I think that may be the point,' I disagreed. 'Their love is their only redeeming quality.'"
-from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
"'Your bad luck seems to get more potent every day. Do you realize that your insatiable pull for all things deadly was strong enough to recover a pack of mutant canines from extinction? If we could bottle your luck, we'd have a weapon of mass destruction on our hands.'"
-from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
"As we walked, I felt myself settling into another version of myself, the self I had been with Jacob. A little younger, a little less responsible. Someone who might, on occasion, do something really stupid for no good reason."
-from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
"This was why I was here. This was why I would take whatever reception waited for me when I got back. Because, underneath all the anger and the sarcasm, Jacob was in pain. Right now, it was very clear in his eyes. I didn't know how to help him, but I knew I had to try. It was more than that I owed him. It was because his pain hurt me, too. Jacob had become a part of me, and there was no changing that now."
-from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
"Hanging out with no one but extremely dexterous people all the time was going to give me a complex."
-from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
"I felt like someone had kicked my legs out from under me. The weeks of stress, of worry ... somehow in the middle of all my obsessing over the time, my time had disappeared. My space for sorting through it all, for making plans, had vanished. I was out of time. And I wasn't ready."
-from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
"Having experienced the way it feels to think I've lost you ... my reactions have changed. My entire being shies away from any course that could inspire that kind of pain again."
-from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
"My hindsight seemed unbearably clear tonight. I could see every mistake I'd made, every bit of harm I'd done, the small things and the big things. Each pain I'd caused Jacob, each wound I'd given Edward, stacked up into neat piles that I could not ignore or deny."
-from the Twilight Saga: Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
"I was eventually exhausted enough to sleep. Unconsciousness did not bring full relief from the pain, just a numbing, dulling ease, like medicine. Made it more bearable. But it was still there; I was aware of it, even asleep, and that helped me to make the adjustments I needed to make."
