My Picks For Today

“Listen to the people who love you.
Believe that they are worth living for even when
you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression
takes away and project them into the future. Be brave;
be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for
you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat
when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself
when you have lost your reason.”
~*~ Andrew Solomon

“What I like about photographs is that
they capture a moment that’s gone
forever, impossible to reproduce.”
~*~ Karl Lagerfeld

“Sharing tales of those we've lost is how
we keep from really losing them.”
~*~ Mitch Albom

“Songs and smells will bring you back to a moment in time
more than anything else. It's amazing how much can be
conjured with a few notes of a song or a solitary whiff
of a room. A song you didn't even pay attention to at the
time, a place that you didn't even know
had a particular smell.”
~*~ Emily Giffin

“I've never tried to block out the memories of the past,
even though some are painful. I don't understand
people who hide from their past. Everything you live
through helps to make you the person you are now.”
~*~ Sophia Loren

“The only real treasure is in your head.
Memories are better than diamonds and nobody
can steal them from you”
~*~ Rodman Philbrick

“The things we do outlast our mortality. The things
we do are like monuments that people build to honor
heroes after they've died. They're like the pyramids that
the Egyptians built to honor the pharaohs. Only instead
of being made of stone, they're made out of
the memories people have of you.”
~ R.J. Palacio

“We live in deeds not years In thoughts not breaths.
In feelings not figures on a dial. We
should count time by heart throbs.
He most lives who thinks most,
feels noblest, acts the best.”
~ Philip James Bailey

“Of all that I have possessed in my life, my memories
are the only things remaining to me. Indeed, I believe
that memories are the only real treasure any
human can hope to hold always.”
~ Gary Jennings
