This quote basically means that you recognize and appreciate the good more if you have something not so good to compare it to.

I like it because, having just moved to the south from the north, I really don’t like summer as much as I did before, not because summer is hotter, but because it is nearly endless. Furthermore, in my life I have learned to take in the good more earnestly, because the bad is always there to make the good more exhilarating.

The most beautiful experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe is as good as dead. His eyes are closed.

— Albert Einstein

We can try to avoid making choices by doing nothing, but even that is a decision.

— Gary Collins

You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it.

— Samuel Butler

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing.

— Jack Kerouac

If love is not madness then it’s not love -Platon

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

— Martin Luther King Jr.

It means that the joy and trials of life is about conditioning you to understand that there is something greater than you in the works and by learning to think beyond yourself and accepting that you gain the humility to be truly happy. All too often people get caught up in their mundane and materialistic lives and don’t think to step back and say its not about me… there’s more to life than my reflection (though important) you are blessed with a gift and have been granted the opportunity to share it with others (often in the most unlikely of situations) and it takes great humility to take time to share that, not for personal gain but because you want to.

I chose it because it has proven to be true in my life, and everyday I am learning to appreciate where I have been, what I have gained and loss, and where I am going to go.

And, as I mounted up the hill,

The music in my heart I bore,

Long after it was heard no more.”

-William Wordsworth (The Solitary Reaper)

Like love, poetry is a general practice (the cause of the difference between the not being and being of anything, including love) and the way we talk about poetry as a general practice helps us to understand what we mean when we talk about love. This general practice called poiesis.

What these lines essentially point to is an unconsummated love. It implies that the melodies of love that one used to hear while in love, are so sweet to the ear, not only as long as they lasted , but also long after that…which keeps haunting you and leaves an indelible impression in your heart.

whenever i feel low,it just sort of lift my spirits up, thinking about it makes me feel that there really isnt something in this world that u cant probably resolve,its just basically you vs. urself

The meaning is obvious, so you will never give up on your goals and I like it, it has a nice ring to it.

I like it because it’s true.

All ideas and philosophies were once considered radical.

Kate Hepburn

Because it’s so true. It explains why the human race is such a mess.
